Excerpt from British Standard Specification for Charging Plug and Socket for Vehicles Propelled by Electric Secondary Batteries: Revised, September, 1917

The sub-committee on Electrical Accessories was appointed at the meeting of the Sectional Committee on Electrical Plant (reorganised in June, 1914, as the Sectional Electrical Committee) held on 1sth January, 1903, which appointment was confirmed by the Main Committee on 8th December, 1904.

The great importance to the Electrical and Motor Vehicle industry of standardising the Charging Plug and Socket used in connection with vehicles propelled by secondary batteries was brought to the notice of the Engineering Standards Committee by the Electric Vehicle Committee of the Incorporated Municipal Electrical Association in March, 1914. In October of the same year certain proposals for the standardisation of a particular Plug and Socket, which the latter Committee had drawn up and based on the recommendations of the Electric Vehicle Association of America, were considered in detail. In order, however, not to depart from their guiding principle of interfering as little as possible with invention and progress, the sub-committee, after careful con sideration, decided not to suggest, as standard, any detailed design, but to confine their attention to standardising only the essential points necessary to secure interchangeability between any Charging Plug and any Socket of the type selected by the Electric Vehicle Committee (vie, concentric), leaving to them the issue of a detailed Specification for the construction of the exact design of Plug which, in their opinion, is best suited to the present needs of the industry.
