REF: #192 - Although sitting in on an accessories working group at that time my main occupation was with mcb development. I was therefore obviously aware that, although wiring systems take some years to replace, the inevitable eventual change over to radial circuits in the UK would have lead to far larger sales of mcb's. Unfortunately at that time the UK was well behind the curve on this and once again European manufacturers were rubbing their hands with glee at the prospects of all that new circuit breaker business. Happily they did not get their way, but it's an eye opener how much politics and hard nosed business influences what appear on the surface to be rather dull technical committees. pete
