[Mobile-Portable] Automotive Circuit Breakers VS Fuses ?

[C.Whitaker]

Buss fuses, changed to Bussman, then to Cooper Bussman, have been
THE industry standard since year one.  Why do I think that?  Because
the the old AT&T Bell Telephone System used so many of them.  They
came in all physical sizes from a 30-pounder to a 3AG.  Trivia, but the
larger ones get old and need to be replaced, so the large power panels
had two fuse holders side by side.  Slide the new one into the slot,
operate a change-over switch, pull the old one out, and put an entry into
the log book and the bring-up file.  If you have one with a small hole, that
fuse could be filled with a white powder.  That's a slow-blow kind of 
thing.
