H Phil, The old British 15 amp round pins are BS546, still used in India and South Africa. See http://www.plugsocketmuseum.nl/OldBritish1.html We have now been in New Zealand for 19 years and still have a lot of stuff with British plugs running via multi-blocks with NZ plugs on the end. Including my 40 year old Digitrol controller (used for the test track), compressor, painting booth and mini-drills etc. Keep safe and keep modelling Stan. |

Hi Stan Thanks for the link, My memory of those is that they were either black or dark brown, I can't remember which. We went over to square pin in the early 60's, when we got telly for the first time. Stay safe. Phil |

I remember the Walsall types - 12 to 15 on the second page. Often found in hospitals and special areas. The BBC had standby generators at all its main centres in case of mains failure and these generators could only power critical pieces of equipment and I think I remember these plugs being used for that. We called them "Chinese", probably a bit racist these days. | ||
