Default Re: Another unusual plug and some other questions

Images of 1893 electrical appliances etc.

The "Stella" lamps are what were later known as "Robertson" lamps, made at GEC's Hammersmith factory.

If anyone is interested in researching old GEC catalogues, the GEC archves went to the Bodliean library as part of the Marconi collection and I believe can be consulted on application to the librarian: see http://www.mhs.ox.ac.uk/marconi/collection/

My catalogues were kindly given to me by the GEC archivist many years ago following an enquiry about the date of introduction of mains plugs: they were incomplete/damaged duplicates of complete copies held in the archives.
