"Hot press", as referenced under "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CEE_7_standard_AC_plugs_and_sockets#CEE_7/3_socket_and_CEE_7/4_plug_(German_%22Schuko%22;_Type_F)", probably refers to the Irish interpretation; an "Airing cupboard", as discussed under "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupboard#Airing_cupboard". 174.118.33.82 (talk) 14:18, 17 September 2019 (UTC) Robert STEVENSReply

p.s.: The long thread, from 'Hot Press' to 'Airing Cupboard':-

1) Using intuition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Press;
2) Disambiguation page for 'Hot Press'; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_press;
3) The only likely candidate; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupboard;
4) The line referencing 'Irish'; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupboard#linen_cupboard;
5) The link referencedin association with 'Hot Press' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airing_cupboard#Airing_cupboard;
6) A link to 'an electric version'; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drying_cabinet.
This long thread could be wrong, at oh so many points. Is a person with Irish savvy available for a second opinion? And, then, the question becomes "How to provide the direct and unambiguous link to the relevant style of 'hot press'/'drying cabinet' referenced in that latter article?"13:11, 28 September 2019 (UTC)174.118.48.209 (talk)Robert STEVENS

Polarisation

Latest comment: 8 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I’ve been trying to find out what the current Czech, Belgian and French standards say about the polarisation of CEE 7/5, but they’re all hidden behind paywalls costing several hundred euros. It’s really frustrating, because it would be great to know what actually applies now and what the trend is — are we seeing a move towards greater harmonisation with the live conductor on the right?

I understand and share the frustration! Though for this specific topic, I think it doesn't matter all that much, since appliances these days inevitably use CEE 7/7 plugs (if not contour or Europlugs) which also fit into Schuko sockets and so won't support polarization in any case.
