Circuit Breaker manufacture dates

M Gilmore
Hi, I am currently working on a project and I require the manufacture dates of various circuit breakers. I have contacted Schneider (Square D), Eaton (MEM, Memshild etc) and Electrium (Crabtree, Volex, Siemens and Wylex) Schneider have come back but that's it. Does anyone have any old catalogues that are dated? Have any data sheets or have any other evidence of such dates? I'm after information on all types of circuit breakers, so Federal Electric and Dorman Smith included!


Thanks in advance, hopefully someone out there can help me in my quest.

    For every EICR I seem to end up playing the guess the date of the original installation, I declined to do one EICR that had been requested by a college because there were international students lodging in the house  and told the landlady to just get it rewired, because I dated the original installation that was still in use to around 1895.


    It had a lovely rosewood and porcelain double pole fuse board and fabric covered cables, I dated the installation by doing an internet search to find out when the electric tram tracks were laid past the house that were removed before most of the forum members were born.
