Vintage 4-footer
Just got around to installing an eBay purchase I treated myself to three months back. It runs silently and as cool as a cucumber. It enjoyed 60 years of regular service in an office not far from where it was manufactured until a refurb prompted its removal and rescue by an on-the-ball employee. It's in remarkably good condition for its age.

thats old with that BULGIN plug on the side of the fitting ! think this was a common feature for 1940's and 50's fittings, fore ease of removal for servicing etc
