Remember the old UK bakelite 13A plugs?

If you dropped them on a stone or concrete floor they would crack and/or break.

If the plug was deemed to be repairable it was a case of dismantle the plug and grab the tubes of Araldite from where they were stored.

Then carefully glue the broken bits back together, taping them for 24 hours while the epoxy resin hardened and then the plug could be screwed back together the day after.

"Bakelite was the first plastic used to make radio cases, allowing for sleek, modern designs not possible with wooden construction. Invented in 1907 by Belgian-born chemist Leo Hendrik Baekeland (1863-1944) at his home laboratory in Yonkers, New York, Bakelite was the tradename for a lightweight, easily molded plastic, thermosetting phenolic resin. While the color of Bakelite was initially a translucent amber, the addition of fillers and heat in the manufacturing process changed the plastic into its characteristically opaque, dark brown color. Do you own any Bakelite? Radio is courtesy of Steve Kushman. "On the Radio" is on display, post-security, in Terminal 3. http://bit.ly/RadioSFO" This was posted to our Instagram account on April 12, 2018 – https://millsfield.sfomuseum.org/instagram/1729358359/
