Abstract

An electricity meter has one of its bayonets slidably carried by the meter base. When the meter is inserted in a meter socket, the bayonet in its normally retracted position conducts electrical power to the full potential coil. When the meter is removed, the socket functionally holds the bayonet until it slides to a detented extended position where the bayonet is locked into position and is connected so as to bypass a portion of the potential coil. When the meter is reinserted, the meter runs fast.
