How to wire a 1970's plug...

Lisa Miles
Just seen this and thought I'd share with you...


As part of the IET's 'Exploring the Archives' feature, my colleague Asha Gage‍ from the Archives Team gives us a quick look at an unusual item in the IET Archives. A tea towel from the 1970's made to help the public to understand the changes in wiring. ?

    I think a tea-towel with how to accurately calculate the requirements for surge protection devices would be great. It should have the phone number of all the distributors so you can annoy them with questions they don't know the answer to while you dry your dishes.




     

    All joking aside I like the idea of using unusual methods to communicate these kinds of things... ? They sometimes sink into your psyche without you realising it.


    I have a T-shirt with a schematic drawing of an Audi TT on it and an acquaintance of mine has a tattoo of the wiring loom of his motorbike on his leg.. not sure how often he may refer to it but it's pretty 'hard core' to say the least! ?
