<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Phil Douglas, post: 4223273, member: 13223&quot;]Thanks for your further broadening of the possible age of this thing, bigger mystery!</p><p>The brass chain you mention is intriguing. Was that because the copper current-bearing wires weren&#039;t considered strong / reliable enough? And did they use it to get an earth connection down to the metal parts? I suspect they weren&#039;t bothered by earthing, but now a two core wire is a suspect thing -- how are you going to get an earth connection?</p><p>And the news about the central globe / shade is interesting. If they usually had a larger central one, then all four must be replacements. All in all I can relax about fixing the broken one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
