On the subject of clangers, I've been watching the film Battle of
Britain, and the scene where Robert Shaw and Ian McShane came out of a
cottage, I noticed there was a plastic doorbell on the door frame.

Was there plastic door bells or even electric door bells in 1940?


There was plastic in the form of Bakelite .... nice stuff that, except when
it explodes.
There was electricity of course.

So, there *could* have been an electric doorbell ... they must have been
rich people (:
