One more whatsit for the night.

Good one. Are these the holes in angle brackets to hold shelves?

Could it be the hole at the end of one of the blades of a standard electrical plug?

Thanks for all these "whatsits". It is fun playing.

Oh, this is just torture. Could it be the hole at the end of one of the blades of a standard electrical plug? It is the only thing I can think of that is old fashioned and serves no purpose, that I may have a hundred of and that handles a lot of power. I know, your said it's not a plug.

....and those holes actually do serve a purpose............

If you're a hack electrician, yes.

But otherwise, modern receptacles don't utilize those holes. They're only installed to accomodate receptacles that date back to the 30's.
