Found this on the internets today... thought you all might like it...

Looks 'non-US' ??

Any clues

.....And we complain when we encounter old or sloppy work! I can't imagine being an electrician in Russia or wherever that is.

"Lucky shot, tavarich! 50 roubles says you can't throw this screwdriver into the other hole!"

We had that picture once as part of a series if I remember correctly... the place burnt down, probably because of this "fuse replacement". These fuse holders are built like Edison base light sockets, but they have a porcelaine ring at the bottom of the element, so only a proper fuse with a narrow tip will fit (the diameter depends on the fuse rating). The bottom terminal is the line side, the outer thread is the load side. I can only assume someone wedged a metal object into the base and used the screw driver to both "secure it" in place and make the connection with the screw thread.

I can't find the original link though.
