Square D "All-In-One" Panelboard

Here's an Antique recently upgraded from a Residential Project, as part of a Service Upgrade.

The complete package is named "All-In-One", as it contains a Disconnecting Means,
The Fusible Bus Kit, and space for upto Three (3) Despard Receptacles - all within the same
Enclosure / Cover.

Labeled as the "All-In-One" by Square D Company - Western Division.
1320 E. 16th Street. Los Angeles.
Catalog No.: ADF 334 Series II.
Rated: 125-250 V. AC. Amps: 30 Poles: 3 (they count the Grounded Conductor too).

U.L. Label: "Inspected Service Equipment". Form 30. Issue A 227

Below is a compiled page of images:

Details of Images:

#1: Bus Kit overview - notice the White Switch at the top of the Kit - it's the Disconnect.

#2: Close-Up of the Bus Kit.

#3: Panelboard Cover - Close-Up; Notice the slotted areas on the cover. Slot at upper left is where the Despard Receptacles are located (existing wise, only one Receptacle installed).
Slot at center right is for Disconnect Switch (the White Switch at the top of the Bus Kit).

#4: Panelboard Cover overview.

#5: Despard Receptacle, Mounting Bracket and Wiring (same type as Knob and tube).

#6: Close-Up of Despard Receptacle and Mounting Bracket.

#7: Labels on Panelboard Cover's Door.

I plan to clean these things up as much as possible, plus remove all the layers of Paint (if possible without messing things up worse!), so when this is done I will re-post a few images.

Anyone ever run across one of these - or even install one new?
Seems to be circa 1920-1940, prior to the usage of the "Widespread" Square D Multi Breakers, the type A1A's, and eventually the XO line of Residential Equipment.

Also brought home some very old Square D 2 Pole Fusible EXO Switches - 30 Amps Max., which use the same Edison Base Fuses.
Forgot to get pic's of these really neat looking Square D "Mini Multi Breaker Service panels". Things are in excellent shape! Size of the complete Panelboard is about 5" x 5" x 2" deep!
