Type B, Patent No. 830153, Factory Inspectorate Certificate No. I.S.3177
Made by T.S.G Seward, 11 Station Road, Stockton-On-Tees.
Both probes are made from tubular plastic, completely filled with transparent resin.
The internal components can be seen clearly, consisting of a resistor in one probe and a resistor and neon in the other.
Both probes have a crack along the length of the tube, possibly due to the resin inside expanding.
View of the complete device showing the black connecting wire. This is still reasonably flexible, despite it's age.
