I noticed on the engineering poster at Moorgate
that the multi coloured screws have a left hand
thread - anyone else noticed?

The old light bulbs that they had (have?) in Routemasters had left hand
threads - this was to stop anyone pinching them to use them at home.


That sounds like an urban myth, bus bulbs are hardly likely to be 240v are
they?

No, but then not all bulbs used in the hope days gone by were, either.
