Excellent information Hoeksel.
It seems that I have to rely on overseas collectors to identify an Australian maker for me when I should know them myself.
Here is information from the web about the company name changes .
It says 1941 was the change to Richards Industries Ltd and that is good enough for me. Thanks.
Now I need to know the use for this plug and the M1 meaning.
