I doubt that (m)any people have. However, I also doubt that many will have seen "DIYers" (or 'electricians' of questionable competence/sense!) 'fiddling around injudiciously inside 3-phase DBs (when have ones fiddling fingers surrounded by earthed metal becomes a hazard)!

1980 Siemens with bottle fuses used in Algeria, where the switch was after the fuse, so fuse always changed live. Clear plastic so you could see any faults without opening the board.
Once also common in Germany too.

It was a Dutch firm. NACAP BV.
Very much a Berlin company, IIRC Siemenns & Halsk started the company mid 19th century in a tenament building where they created and manufactured a telegraph receiver.
We were shown the building surrounding an open area, like a little garden/car park/quadrangle behind a butchers and bakers shops (sorry no candlestick maker), (I think on or close to Charlottenstrasse) on a guided tour in 1977 but I'm not sure if it was where the company was based or Siemens lived.
