Accuracy?

i added the accuracy tag because i belive an article like this (which obviously reffers to a non-internation legacy standard) is highly misleading if it doesn't give information on what country it applies to. Plugwash 23:59, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Photo!!

It would be great to have a photo here as I have no idea what connector this article refers to, despite being a 40 year resident of the UK where this (obsolete?) connector was common. Timffl (talk) 00:03, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- I agree. I'm a 49 year old UK resident and also have no idea what connector is being referred to here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.107.202.187 (talk) 15:06, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

had almost given up, but a bit of google meandering turned up this page

http://www.74simon.co.uk/newappliancepage.html

there's no images of the lead or plug itself, but you can see the socket and get a good idea of what's going on - presumably the plug earths the metal surround of the socket, and the two chunky visible pins are the neutral and earth ... in effect, the lead that goes into the mains is somewhat of an extension and a standards converter in one, and the kettle itself "plugs into" the lead (the design of it very much reminds me of a certain type of european 2-pin-plus-earth-strip plug) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.63.174.10 (talk) 16:29, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Similar plugs were common in Australia and New Zealand. I have added a photo or mine. here too new jugs now commonly use high-temp IEC connectors, the clipsal.com.au website also has a photo of the plug (search for 464) Jasen betts (talk) 11:48, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
