Very nice Rob... let me know if you find any more

Nice one, Had been wondering who made these. Also used on some GPO Telephone Exchange fittings too.

|

Also used in some fluorescent street lanterns, that's where my original set came from.
|
|

used on UTILAIR fluoresent fittings seagull type from the 60's too, posted photos of mine on here in the past

I use to have a 5 foot fitting with these

I remember those buses. I know those lampholders too. I have an old 4' twin quickstart fitting that used them. When they failed to make reliable contact with the tube pins, much to my shame I threw them away, assuming them to be spark-eroded and beyond repair. I have since realised that they make contact on the pin ends and all I needed to do (probably) was file the ends of the pins.

Soldering the pins of the tube seems to help too. I was having trouble with poor contact between the pins of some Sylvania tubes and end-contact 'Rock' lamp holders. No amount of filing seemed to cure it, but after soldering the pins I haven't had any further issues
