1921-2021 Vintage equipment for
electrical installations

In the early period Spółka Akcyjna Przemysłu Elektrycznego „Czechowice” („Czechowice” Joint Stock Company of Electrical Industry) manufactured resistors and controllers, lighting, isolation and signalling equipment, electrical meters and phones.

Then the company focused on the manufacturing of electrical installation equipment and accessories, such as one-piece rotary switches 6 A/250 V in porcelain housing for both flush and surface mounting applications, and one-piece 10 A/250 V wall sockets again in flush-mounted and surface‑mounted versions. At the end of the decade production ranges of switches and socket were modernised. The one-piece design was replaced with two-piece solutions.
