Why part P is here.

[GiZmorob]

I turned up to this job just before Xmas.
I was called out to help this lady who had tried to unscrew a G9 bulb and broke it off in the fitting.
While working on the fitting at the bottom of this image I noticed the cpc sticking out of a junction box so had a look and this is what I found.



To top it off while packing some tools away in the hall I see a socket with writing on "NO EARTH TAKE CARE".

Isolated these parts until I can get back but brings into question all the circuits. Would of been a call-out but now its I got to go back and put it all right.

What do you guys think??????

Just read about Parsons and noted that they merged with Reyrolle,now Reyrolle switchgear was the bees knees, their factory was in Newcastle as well

Hebburn!

does anybody know how we got to this from part p (is part p relevant to lamps) or does it only deal with bulbs

It began with the OP going to change a light bulb.
Part P doesn't apply to lamps - lamps are things you plant in the ground.

my crop is doing nicely. planted a load of incandescent 60watt lamps last year, now got a good crop of candle bulbs. on another note,i'd like to plant some OP's in the ground after the last week or so.

 

[Adam W]

Try a row of sodium lamps - after a couple of years they grow into lamp posts.
If you plant an OP in the ground do you get a crop of them?

Well done Des.

Parsons' other claim to fame was the Steam Yacht Turbinia - the first steam turbine ship in the world. A system that was adopted by all the world's navies. And then the very same means of propulsion came to be used in power stations and the nuclear submarines we have today.

You may also have heard of Father & Son Stephenson who had something to do with railways and bridges.

Oh I know my local history - just ask Tidy Boiler.

I'm a Gateshead lad born (in the Queen Elizabeth hospital) and bred and consider myself to be a Geordie and I'm VERY proud of my Geordie Heritage and all that we in Geordieland gave to the world - and had stolen from us in some cases.

Have a looksee at C A Parsons sometime who wasn't a Geordie (he was an Irishman) but see what he achieved here in Geordieland. Then there's W G Armstrong - of the Armstrong Works fame and his little country cottage "Cragside"

I can honestly say, hand on heart that this man is probably the most knowledgeable person I have ever insulted. What he doesn't know about Newcastle/Tyneside/North East industry, engineering, shipbuilding and railways ain't worth knowing. I am very proud to know and love him. :love:

 

[telectrix]

well, someone has to love the ugly duckling, else would be duck soup. :19:

tidy boiler..... where's yer knickers gone????
