Re: Another unusual plug and some other questions
Hello all,
"DS was in use for tech supplies at the BBC until fairly recently."
I don't think I've ever seen the fact that the DS plugs had a screw-in fuse which acted as the live pin; when they were ceased in my bit of the BBC I came across a number of these fuses which were actually the same size as a BS1363 so I cut all the threaded portions off...
Well, it was a long time ago!
"I discovered the separate new earth wire from the sockets ran to somewhere just under the floor- where it ended!"
A friend paid quite a lot of money in North London to have his large house rewired; a few years later it was found that every single fitting had but a few inches of new cable which was twisted to the old cable just outside the plasterbox!
Regards Ant
