Description
Original mid-20th-century British industrial rotary switch manufactured by MEM (Midland Electric Manufacturing Company).
Salvaged from the former Fort Halstead military research establishment near Sevenoaks, Kent, this substantial switch features a heavy cast-metal housing, believed to be aluminium alloy, with its original rotary control knob and internal electrical components.
The switch retains its original aged industrial finish, displaying attractive surface oxidation, wear and patina developed over decades of use. The rear mounting plate bears the manufacturer's MEM marking and 'England' stamp.
An authentic piece of British industrial heritage, ideal for collectors, industrial-style interiors, architectural salvage displays or decorative installations.
