TQ3477NE CANAL GROVE 636-1/38/186 Gas standard adapted to electric light

GV II

Gas standard. Late C19; adapted to electric light in early C20. Cast-iron and another metal. Cylindrical in section. Flute socle and flute tapering shaft which forms a bell, all of which forms the extent of the gas light. The extension above the shaft, like the curved arm, was added to give extra height when the fixture was converted to electric light, and as such it has intrinsic value, as do the cylindrical fuse-cum-timer compartment and the fixture itself with its shallow reflector. The fixture forms a group with Nos 2-9 Canal Grove (consec) (qqv).
