Just shows you how long that service fuse has been in place. My parents house only had a 40A service fuse and a 40A meter for donkeys years. Then got updated out of the blue to 60A fuse and 100A meter. Later still, Mechanical meter replaced with digital meter and fuse/tails uprated to 80A/16mm....[/QUOTE]
and it held for all that time....
which begs me to ask what the point in this excercise was?
Non of your Chinese rubbish!
hmm..What happened to Brush Engineering?
I had the misfortune of installing one of their LV panels. Biggest pile of junk I’ve ever come across. So bad I got division engineering involved and we chucked all the outgoing switches away. Replaced them with System 4 gear.
I've got a fantastic book, 'Diesel Traction. Manual for Enginemen', 1962, great book.
Also got one for 'Railway Steam Locomotive Enginemen'. More of Geordie's era.

it would have been interesting to have clamped the tails at full demand back then...No idea, no upgrades were ever asked for/requested. Not just my parants house, but the whole estate, street by street!! lol!! Talking about a period from 1952 through to 2005. It was around final year, they changed the meter for a digital one and upgraded the service fuse and the braided VIR 7/064 tails for 16mm....
theres six of these in existance:I have that one and I have "2750 - Legend Of A Locomotive" which is a fictional story about an A3 Class Gresley Pacific named "Papyrus" that I've seen many times written by H.C. Webster. (I think I have some for diesel as well but let's not go there!)
I first stumbled upon it in the school library and was so impressed with it I wanted to nick it!
It's a very rare book and a couple of years ago the idea popped into my head that I would like to read it again but nobody had ever heard of it. Somehow, by fair means or foul, Tidyboiler managed to find a copy for me.
It's so well written with some great drawings that it's possible to learn to drive a Gresley Pacific class from it and that's how at the tender age of 18 I ended up driving this:

and again recently...
compare the results......
