Thanks Grant ( Bowker ) Can’t find my peculiar set of blades in your very nice table of designs .This outlet is over the door , nearer the cypher clerk while the other is over the control panel nearer the radio operator . Not enough current to power a radio ( 60 Amp fuse for the radios vs 10 Amps for this circuit ) but surely enough for a trouble or reading lamp .

A trouble or reading lamp would not be polarity sensitive, so the 250V plug "2-20P" in the table would fit the socket in either orientation.

Australian LP Carriers also used civilian domestic (240V) plugs and sockets for 12V trouble lamps. A ready source of a reliable proven design of plug.

I suspect they used a standard commercial lamp of some sort, and simply fitted a low voltage bulb to it. I've seen ES bulbs in all kinds of voltages, so that would make a lot of economic sense - if you needed to use it on a high voltage supply simply change the bulb.

Chris.

While we are at it , does anyone have a clue how the Onan 110 V generator is held down on the floor of the lower compartment ?

Are these the type of plugs used. Seem to think they were commonly in domestic use in the U.K. at one time
