Sounds like something that I should become very familiar with... especially the hole in the head part. Fits me to a tee! :rofl:

The little brass screws were replaced in later times with nylon ones, because of electrical shocks that might occur during times when the sleeve of a plug would be energized with respect to the frame ground of a manual switchboard.
Of course, the nylon ones would strip easily, and then old brass ones from used cords hiding in the dusty bottom of the board would be installed.

Speaking from a secure undisclosed location. Jim - It's been about 10 years since I did any transmission work, but my Sunset bag always had 310 cords as well as the smaller high density ones, which s you said are used extensively in T-1 circuits. There was one piece of (T-Carrier) equipment that used 310 plugs. For the life of me I can't remember which one. Maybe it was a T-Berd? Or maybe one of the older Muxes.... Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most. Sam
