- H. T. Paiste Co. Key Socket, 1891 - A light socket provides a secure connection between an incandescent electric lamp and the electrical circuit. In the late 19th century, companies created lamp bulb bases with unique styles and sizes which would only fit sockets that they made. By 1910 the Edison screw-type base had become so popular it was virtually an industry standard, and consumers no longer had to buy lamps and sockets from the same manufacturer.

- Cut-Out, circa 1899 - Short circuits and current overloads can overheat wires within electrical power and lighting systems, causing damage and possibly starting a fire. In the late 19th century, a cutout with a fuse or fuse-wire protected these systems--the fuse would burn out and break the electric circuit if a surge or overload occurred. Replacing the fuse returned the circuit to working order.
