The front face has upturned sides projecting at right angles. One terminal is complete and has two rounded lobes with a small circular hole in its centre. On the back face of this terminal are two parallel pin lugs with a seperate copper-alloy bar inbetween them around which the now missing pin could have originally have been attached.
