I've managed to get the drawings of some plugs onto the page. I noticed something peculiar when doing this: The Israeli plug has virtually the same dimensions as the other European plugs. I'm not going to accept that pins on 19 mm centres and 4.8 mm diametre are some God-given dimension. There must be a reason for this design. Were French or German plugs used in Israel at one point? Then the flattening of the pins on the Israeli plug would make sense, to prevent you from inserting these plugs.

Hutch: This plug is polarized, can be equipped with insulating sleevs and has pins that won't bend! You can even have the earth up, if you want to. (I doubt the Arab countries would adopt it though [Linked Image] )

This plug also resembles the "Middle Eastern" plug Sven told us about.
