Screw pillars with 4mm banana sockets in the centre.  Available in
a wide range of colours, rated to 500v and 10 amps.  Easy to fit,
easy to plug-up and easy to see what you are doing so you don't
make silly (and expensive) mistakes.

Surely you mean one meter.

No; meters were very expensive in those days, most people didn't own
one.    :-)

But which war?

1939 - 1945.
