Last year I promised to post pictures I took at the Electrical museum... now I finally got around to do it.

They had strange things there...
The gentleman who guided us through the museum explained at one point it was intended to only run MV lines and install a transformer in every building. Thus, these nicely enclosed transformers were developed, intended to appear like a piece of furniture.

Then they had this working carbon arc lamp:

It gave an intense blueish-white and flickering light.

Now the real interesting stuff... a collection of old switches. Note the very American-looking push button switches at the bottom right!

There are more pictures, but I don't have the time to upload them right now, I'll do that tomorrow.
