Yes I remember them, they had asbestos pads. If you dropped the fuse on the floor they would break or shatter.

Des, are you a member of the Old Farts club?
bet u that old switch will outlast any of the cack u get these days. the bill tp boards had some amount of exposed parts if i mind right.and as alarm man says u were a brave soldier indeed to put a fuse back in if there was a fault u didn't know about!!! like when my laddie screwd through a micc ring main i was changing sockets on and never told me....this was in the days before every circuit was tested prior to energising i might add
But this unit is a single Switch fuse, would you not switch it ''Off'' before you pulled or inserted the fuse?? And being a cartridge fuse, you'll only get the crack/bang from the blades as they touched..... no almighty bang as you would from a rewirable blowing!!
weve moved on to old bill db's e54,keep up auld fella..:icon10::icon10:
Oooops !! i was still talking about this Switch fuse!! lol!!
