Before I plod along any further, I just want to correct an error on my part in terminology.
Over the last few posts on the three screw terminal panels, I had been referring to the fittings attached to these panels as ‘Ring Terminals’. I became suspect of that identification this morning and decided to confirm what they are more closely.
As per the attached photo, these fittings are actually ‘Fork Connectors’, but of a type I cannot recall ever seeing a modern equivalent of in any electronic supply shops today. Note that the inner throat of the fork is designed to also serve as an integral lock washer.
