all button attached to kitchen buzzer. Bathroom One side bracket on each side of mirror. One side wall receptacle for curling iron, shaving mug and luminous radiator. Kitchen One center ceiling light, one side bracket over sink and one side wall outlet for iron and washing machine. Cellar Five outlets should be provided for proper illumination, one at foot of stairs, one at work bench, one in fruit and vegetable cellar and one in front of furnace located so as also to illuminate the coal bin.
