Power to the people
A Bakelite light switch.
The first electric power source to this particular house was a small turbine in a stream, with a little dam. That turbine provided a few farms with electricity untill 1942. Each evening at 10 pm the power was cut, cause they saved up water in the dam during the night. Before the electricity was definately cut for the night, the operator turned the power on/off three times so that people would know it was time. Those where the days..!
