I came across this in an old house in East Los Angeles a while back, 5 outlets in 1 gang is the record as far as I've seen..
As I clean through my garage, I'm sure I'll find more

At last the answer to the question I've wanted to know for a long time; as I've suspected all along, the Australasian three pin plug has the same pin spacing as the 'obsolete' US counterpart on which the design of it is based.

Recepticals were probably polarized way back then. Plugs on appliances and lamps didn't begin to be polarized until the later 1970s, at least what I've seen. Shortly after that two wire extension cords began to be polarized also.

I have one of those 5-outlet receptacles. I have other ones that are 3-outlet. They are all integral with the plates, like that one.
You can't plug very much into the 5-outlet one, unless they are super skinny plugs.
