On white 3/3

This beauty was a common sight to Swedes during the 20th century. The Pello bakelite switch was patented in 1921 by shop foreman H Forsberg. A couple of years later, it was bought by Ericsson. In the mid-50's, the design was somewhat altered, and some ten years later, the switch was discontinued. I still have a couple of them in my house, and am thinking of buying some used ones for reinstalment. They are super high quality and will last forever.

Listening to an anti-plastics activist on the radio, and they claim that plastic (described as Bakelite) was invented in 1950. Um, you're about 100 years off... The first human-made plastic was #Parkesine, invented in 1855. Oh, and #Bakelite was invented in 1907, not 1950! I know during my radio stints, I did all my fact-checking before I went on the air. 🀦🏼

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.
