Oops, I didn't read your OP carefully. I see now that you do not have the receptical itself, but posted a photo from Wiki.

Looks something similar to 'desbar' devices from back in the helper/apprentice days gone by.

Not quite - as far as I know, Despard devices were modular straps that accepted up to 3 devices on a 1-gang yoke.

Tex:
Yes, the 'newer' versions have 3 locations, as the receptacle devices are "U" ground. I was refering back when the receptacle was 2-prong, non-grounded.

John,
I remember seeing those despar devices. I also remember that they use to cram a lot of wires into small boxes. Then they would solder the splice, then use rubber and friction tape.

I took the photo of the 5 way outlet seen above, wa2ise asked me if he could use it on the wiki article and I obliged.. The outlet came out of an old 1928 house in East LA, CA that I did a partial rewire on. It's a Monowatt brand, it's all one piece unlike a Despard device.

What is behind the five-way receptical cover plate? I have one of those. The "cover plate" and outlet are one. The back is closed with plastic except for two screws. BTW There is one on Ebay right now BBTW I have a duplex outlet that is clearly designed to flush mount WITHOUT a box. Frank
