comments
  Before standardization, there existed many combinations of plug-receptical designs. The same scenario existed with early incandescent lamp bases-sockets. This Mesco current tap is unique because of the non-standard plug-receptical design. Mesco products are difficult to date, so the date is listed as unknown.
