Yes, I just watched the end, it looked to me in the pics that one of the containers appeared to be a bit devoid of some of the crucial contacts?
Lawrence.
[EDIT: A bit more digging, it seems to start with NSF a German company based in Germany, sometime before WW2 this company set up a British arm, British NSF Co.
British NSF Co. manufactured a range of switches under license from the Oak Manufacturing Co. Chicago.
AB Metal ProductsLtd manufactured a range of switches under a sub license from British BSF Co. There's a bit of info in Graces Guide.
There appeared to be a law suite between the Oak Manufacturing Co. and British NSF Co. over royalties or something.
British NSF Co. being a German outfit got requisitioned by HM Gov. during WW2.
I believe NSF still survives in some form or other.
AB Metal Products had a factory at Feltham, they also made travel irons, there are some on Ebay...
Not sure if Iv'e got the chronological order correct.
