From this single image, it's hard to tell exactly how the switch and lamp socket are conjoined (if at all) and if the socket is [commonly] attached to the porcelain fixture along with the switch through that single hole thru the use of a custom mount attaching to the base of the socket using...

Years Ahead Boy, that 1945 Pontiac Silver Streak is about 32 years ahead of its time-!

As they carried Knudsen Dairy products along with Van de Kamp's baked goods, this was most-assuredly somewhere in Southern California.

<span style="font-family: helvetica;">Although Lucky Strike was an 'alternate sponsor' for this episode of Your Hit Parade, Lucky Strike (American Tobacco) was the exclusive sponsor for this show as heard on radio from 1935 to 1953, and the main sponsor as seen on television from 1950 to 1959...

Incredibly-Yummy Chuck Roast I've had a Joule sous vide cooker for over two years and can attest to the consistently great results to everything from beef, chicken (definitely the best chicken breasts I've eaten), pork and salmon - to eggs, vegetables and desserts. The images are of a chuck...

I Feel Your Pain One of the more frustrating things to happen in the kitchen is when the first attempt at a recipe comes out really well.  So... questions answered, experience gained - or so one would think. The next attempt - the results are different - occasionally greatly so.  Go figure-! ...

I can't say I'm a particularly big fan of round diffusers used in residential homes; although in commercial applications they strike me as just fine. (Go figure). I would say round registers tend to 'make a statement', whereas rectangular units tend to sit flush to the ceiling - or close to it...

I guess they're waiting for Santa to bring them the 'optional Pouring Shield'-!

This Might Help a Bit More

If memory serves, remove the speed control knob, and located either above or below the knob shaft there should be a recessed slotted screw, that when turned CCW, will retract those brackets. (I believe Nutone recommended installers fill the screw hole with some sort of putty to prevent any...

Free Coca-Cola One way to 'cheat' the system was to use a bottle opener on the captivated bottles, and simply stick a straw into your bottle of choice, and enjoy "The pause that refreshes". Of course, this meant you had to do all your imbibing while leaning-over the cooler... (Nothing's perfect).

Eat Your Heart Out - General Electric Kinda gives a new definition to the term 'electric sink'-!

Oh, Brother... "It takes all kinds of people to make a world-!"
