Usually 'said terminals 13, 14 are countersunk in the uppersurface 3 ofthe baise. 24 is' a spring conductor located within the. chamber 6 between said opposing- surfaces 3, 4 of the base andthe receptacle, said conductor 24v being'. electrically 'connected tothe sleeve terminal 7' and to one of the wire terminals as the terminal 13 on such `terminals and frictinally engaged with the' other.A As here' shoavn, the spring v"conductor 24 Vis in the form ofla'loop (Fig. 7)' having one arm longer thanltheother and 'provided with an opening 25 in its longer "arm which v.receives one of the screws 10 which hold the sleeve terminal in position. Thel 'shorter armfricti'onally engages its Contact lpoint 26 with the wire terminal 13.
' 27 is a spring conductor'electrically connectd to' the'terminal 14 on the base and extending upwardlyT through the opening 12 of the receptacle and theopening'll in the the base and -:being usually fixedfto one of y sleeve terminal 7 into said sleeve terminal,
' and carrying a' terminal 28 at its end for engaging the central terminal of t-lie`lamp and making` electrical contact therewith when the lamp isbutpart way in the socket.
As here shown, this conductor 27 is a spring arm fixed 'at .one end direct-ly to the terminal 14 on the base. v
29 is a. fastening' member Aas a .screw or 9:
bolt for holding'the base and receptacle to-A gether, said'member being located centrally of the jsocket and extending -through the boss 9 andhavin its head arranged in a recess 30 in saidV times insulated from any of the conductors of the lamp.
