Hi,
I once owned a plug and socket combination like this some years ago, this was of the standard BS546 5 amp pin spacing, unlike the one shown in my pictures, the difference being that the socket I owned had a switch which would not move to the on position until the plug was inserted and the plug could not be removed once the switch was in the on position.
