On new premises the electrical contractor may install sockets and the asso-

Telephone socket outlets
The installation telecommunications equipment could, for many years,

On existing installations, additional secondary sockets may installed to

● The room used charge battery must well ventilated because
the charged cell gives off hydrogen and oxygen, which are explosive
in the correct proportions (IEE Regulation 560. rapid charge discharge encourages the plates to
buckle, and may cause permanent damage.6. The sepa-

and the whole assembly immersed dilute sulphuric acid solution in
a plastic container.
