Would that be standard socket on the left handside then the fuse to protect the round pin outlets on the right, say via a 5 or 3 amp fuse?
Is that around the introduction of the square pins, so you had sockets that took old and new for a while?
5 amp and 2 amp are still standard.......not 15amp, though.Some people still use the round pin style sockets to switch lamps on in a room from the main lighting with as you walk in to a room.

When those were put in, the regs (e.g. 14th ed. of 1966) specified a CPC one size down from the L & N for many sizes of T+E. Therefore. 7/.029, the standard cable for rings before 2.5mm², had a 3/.036 CPC, equating to 3.0mm² with a 2.0mm² CPC. The three smallest cables, 1/.044, 3/.029 and 3/.036 all normally had a 1/.044 CPC however.all wired in pvc with stranded conductors (even the earth were three strands).
