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.

tighten/loosen them comfortably.  And, if they support banana plugs,
consider spacing them to support "dual" plug assemblies:

Surely you mean one meter.

Past my time, although my dad fought (or actually typed) in the
Pacific in that war.

I was in the US navy for a week once, and was drafted for the Viet Nam
war, but never actually served.
