   I tried to count the different power supply plugs used when I worked in
TV Centre, and gave up at over 50, with single or three phase AC, or DC
supplies, at different voltages, some for low or high power, some
maintained, some clean sine wave, some general purpose, some variable.

   I understand there is a proposal to change to another new series of
connectors, but there may not be enough electricians with the correct and
legal piece of paper which says they are allowed to do the conversion, even
if they are unable to read the piece of paper.
