A little depressing when you see stuff posted on here as antiques, that you've fitted as new.
Later versions of these switches has similar switch mechanisms inside to modern plate switches, but earlier versions had a totally different underslung over centre mechanism that gave a fast make and fast break, which was suitable for switching DC as well as AC.
