Prompted by another thread, I still have a traditional electromechanical
one with the spinning disk.

It has a sticker saying "Tested 8/88"


They should be recalibrated after 20 years.

Made by English Electric, which (according to Wikipedia) went defunct in
September 1968.

It has been seen regularly by Meter Readers.


Which probably doesn't mean much in these days of subbed out meter
reading. When I worked for an Electricity Board, the meter readers were
expected to check such things.
