[BITList] FW: gas light

[Malcolm]

Frank,

I had 2 aunts living in hull and they had DC current and they too had to
have Radio Relay. I think it was the start of TV that made people changing
to alternate current.

In Hull some streets were on gas (my school mate and family where gassed but
survived after the elder brother didn't turn the light off fully after
reading in bed)  and others on electric the electric being DC which we found
out to our cost when first plugging the radio in as the mains transformer
didn't take kindly to this, we ended up with radio relay for the rest of our
stay in hull

Appears my home town of York was a very modern city; I went into many an old
house/home but I do not recall any of them having a gas light and no
electricity!

Where I lived all the houses had gas lighting until 1950. Only the pubs and
our house had electric light because I lived in a house that was also a
bakers shop with a large bakery at the back of it. That had three machines
that was run by electricity. The same goes for toilets the pubs and our
house had water toilets, the rest of the normal houses had muck box's until
1956. It was a long time before my mother got used to the idea that I wanted
to be a marine engineer like my grandfather Henderson than a baker and not
go into the family business.

 

Malcolm.
