Hi Folks.

Got sent the piccy below this afternoon.
Never seen such a beauty before! I assumed it was some kind of NSH time switch, but it likely pre-dates economy 7 type tariffs...

Answers on a postcode welcome!
Thank you..



answers are also welcomed on a postcard...!

I love it when customers send things like this but fail to get a clear picture showing all the writing!! I can make out the top writing but the bottom central sticker is a mystery...

and it's amd.3 compliant (metal case).

Elucidate please The Tel...you must have seen something akin to this with the years you have under your belt...!
 
As much as it might appear to be E.7 or similar related, the labelling would suggest otherwise.

The switch with the 2 red arrows pointing at it (presumably the isolator for the whole box) says Master Switch for existing sockets and Central heating spur.

The two pairs of white switches are labelled Timeswitch, Off, Direct with circuits maned against them, but I couldn't read them when the image is blown up.

Basically it's a 2 channel timeswitch controlling sockets and the heating spur.
I would imagine the person that originally had this fitted was either called Mr Scrouge or was from Scotland or Yorkshire.

For anyone with eyes better than my 68 year old ones try reading this, it's about the clearest image I can get;

The piccy has probably lost some resolution along the way...the red arrows sticker says skirting sockets rather than existing Snow..simarly the lower sticker says skirting sockets and after looking at it closer again just now the right hand side of that sticker seems to say lounge, dining and hall...
So maybe it is an early E7 but whereby the sockets were used rather than dedicated connection units...
