They are 4 by 10 pins. I think the left row of 10 are keyed vertical,
the next row horizontal, then vertical then horizontal, which would
stop you plugging in upside-down.
I can measure them properly at the weekend but I would estimate the
sockets are about 3 inches high and about an inch wide. I will get a
big torch and check the keying as well. The three sockets are labelled
T1, T2 and K and they were originally for connecting a cable to a BCD
encoded Friden Flexowriter which gave tape to card and card to tape
copying, with a printout made at the same time.
Thanks,
Roger Holmes.
Does anyone here have a any 40 pin Jones type
plugs in their junk
boxes they
would be willing to sell?
Can you provide a picture with dimensions? Jones plugs, especially the
ones with large numbers of connections, come in various sizes and
formats (big or small pin? 4 x 10 or 5 x 8? Which pins are keys?).

I think that is a non-standard one. I have sold hundreds of Jones
plugs, and have not seen that configuration. You may have to modify
something to fit.

I've seen Jones plugs here and there (not that I knew what they were
called before today), but what uses 12-pin plugs that's so popular?

As soon as I get 12 pinners, they sell...

Just last week I
used my PDP-8 to interface the 10m rig in my car to the
PID control loop of my 40W phased plasma rifle.

Did you use DB9s for the connectors?
I thought that those used Centronics connectors,
at least for the IDE disk controller, the 1.44M floppy,
and the 56K baud modem.

No, I wanted something more reliable, so I used current loop over
Western Electric 283B plugs and 404B jacks.

Yeah, except for the ones who are into amateur radio. <Grin>

means someone (often an actor) who just LOVES attention.)

I'm currently re-reading a book on clock repairing [1] by a chap called Eric
Smith (not our Eric Smith AFAIK). In said book he talks about the
'Horological Ham;', who seems to be the equivalent to old clocks as most
of us are to old computers :-)
[1] Another of my interests...
