110 most likelyPete, it's a classic !!!
I'm just hoping it was 110v. Better still, 12v
Did they???Coz electric is like water (and gas), which lose a small percentage of pressure every bend it passes through innit.
And these people sent men to the moon!
No Mate I done it allPete, you've got way too much time on your hands! Hasn't the Missus got something for you to be getting on with? :mtongue:

Didn't you know that was the volume control, the straighter you pulled it the louder the callers voice got. Some people are lost causesI grew up thinking the resistance of an electric fire element came from it being made of thin nichrome wire. But now I know it's all the little spirals they wind into it. And if you cut open an immersion heater or peel the element off the back of an iron soleplate, again you'll see all the little zigzags, coils and twists that put the resistance in. And the tighter the twists - well just look at light bulb filaments... It makes perfect sense.
The only thing I don't understand though, is how the telephone used to work with that coily handset cord.
