One type were 13A with round pins. They were about the same size
as 5A ones but the earth pin had a groove running along it's
length (presumably so the socket could be keyed to prevent a 5A
plug being used) and the cartridge fuse was threaded at one end
and screwed into the plug to form the live pin. I think they
were a proprietary Reyrole design.

D&S. Lethal things. Sometimes when you unplugged them, the fuse would be
left sticking out of the socket - it had unscrewed itself. The natural
reaction was to pull it out. Live...

They also had a near useless cord grip.

Often found on council estates.
