Oooohhh Bakelite devices? hahaha
What's the address of this place? Maybe I'll stop by some day when I'm in Connecticut....on a WEEKDAY when things are actually open!
Why did you smash those Despard things up with your pliers? They seem like they can be a bear to work with....but...still.
Here at work there are one or two floors that
have Despard switches on the hallway wall.
One box I saw today was three gangs of 2, 3 and 3. I shudder to think what the mess behind the box looks like....to me it seems like a lot of switches and wires in a box (even if it's three gang.)
