Ah - D&S 13 amp plugs. The spawn of the devil. Dreadful cord grips too.
The BBC used them for years for technical supplies before changing to
Walsall gauge. Other nonsenses used to keep technical supplies separate
from GS ones were the Cannon EP4 which was an even bigger danger and then
the 'XLR' LNE. Then IEC 'kettle plugs' and now at last a decent mains
plug/socket, the Neutric 'Speakon' based mains.
