Historical British Educational Film. Mummy and Daughter Change a Fuse Wire.

A delightful old film. How times have changed.

    My one complaint with the film is that rather than forming the copper strands into a hook shape, I was taught to make a complete ring and twist with the wire to stop it coming loose (wrap round a small screwdriver shaft and give the screwdriver one rotation) which is much more secure - but not needed with modern plugs.




    Very neatly done with those shepherd's crooks! I think that I have done it both ways.
