Here's a wee thing to get you guys thinking.
Here is a pic of a few older type switches that were used here a while back:

OK, in an Anti-Clockwise direction, starting from the bottom left:

  • Sw#1= An old 5A light switch {Sorry it's hard to see under the given light}
  • Sw#2= One of the first rotary Intermediate switches used here.
    (PaulUK, a translation of the Intermediate switch?)
  • Sw#3= A rotary switch, not sure of it's origin, might be a Main Switch.
  • Sw#4= A 3-Heat switch (Low-Medium-High) 10A, used with earlier Storage Ranges.
  • Same thing as #4 but with a 25A rating, was used with later Non-Storage Ranges, with a higher current draw.
  • Now this last one is a bit of a find.
    It's a 15A "Auto-Pop-fuse", which was another name for a Circuit-Breaker in 1932.

Imagine the "boy" dropping that on the floor and breaking it.
