Re: Frankenstein fuse box
I remember removing one of these type fuse boxes on the landing of an old house in Bognor. When the rewire was finished, a few days later the lady of the house telephoned to say that I had not fitted a (night light) on the landing.. This turned out to be the fuse wire glowing. the cables to this box were paper covered with a lead sheath.
It was normal at this time for both sides of a supply A.C 230V to be fused.
