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. ?

    The dishes dry themselves if you leave them on the draining board or in the dishwasher. 




    I maintain that "draining board" is a misnomer. It should be "airing board" 'cos whilst much of the water drains away, drying requires evaporation. This is facilitated by allowing air to circulate around the crockery, especially when it is still warm.


    As for dishwashers, they never seem to dry the (concave) bottoms of mugs. My solution is to open the device a few minutes before the end and tip the water out. Surely the Germans could do better! ?
