A Black and Decker Professional Angle Grinder and Oddy Ltd Safety Isolating Transformer
Description
This lot comprises a Black and Decker Professional angle grinder and a portable safety isolating transformer. The angle grinder, model P1900W Type 1, is constructed with a black plastic motor housing and handle, featuring a cast metal gear housing and a steel safety guard. The accompanying transformer was produced for Black and Decker Professional by Oddy Ltd, Leeds, under catalogue number A19389. It is housed in a yellow-painted metal casing and includes a black fabric carrying strap. Technical specifications on the transformer label indicate a tool rating of 1000 VA, an input of 240V 50Hz, and a 110V centre tapped earth output. The units are connected via heavy-duty rubber-insulated cables and fitted with yellow industrial 110V 16A plugs conforming to BS EN 60309 standards. Markings indicate the equipment was constructed to British Standard 3535 and made in the UK, reflecting late 20th-century industrial design. While distinct from recreational items such as fishing rods, these tools represent standard UK site safety equipment from the period.
