The reason I asked if French is that two of their electric clock makers chose to build on a 'chassis' of marble.

Thanks for the great picture and story to go with it, I wish him every possible luck. I have not seen a two lamps dark using other than filament lamps but we had several NEBB switchboards with two lamps on the generator cubicles as a cover for a failed synchroscope (of which there was only one).

(With respect to Bob's cheesy cartoon. I have always thought that sort of behaviour is the preserve of pinko lefties).
