but it's 'keyless' as opposed to 'keyed' , so why is there no 'keyed' lampholders , or non-pullchain lampholders?? [This message has been edited by sparky (edited 08-22-2001).]

Shall we try for a deadpan on the deadvolt? I must be tired.
I recently learned the area of 1 barn. I definitely couldn't hit it. Believe me, you wouldn't want AWG and kcmil replaced with barns.

There's also the keyless receptacle that has a recp in addition to the lampholder. Why don't they call it a receptacle-lampholder? Some guys here just call them porcelains. It sounds quite silly to hear somebody ordering a plastic porcelain.

If you pick up an old porcelain pull chain one, and look directly at the socket, where the pc chain comes through the porcelain looks something like a keyslot for an old skeleton key door latch. Thus the "keyed" part. Of course, remove the keyslot, and you have...
