I thought these don't need any evidence.

1) can you provide me an evidence that the current inventory is correct?

2) this battery box with middle contact hole is added to the catalog only in
2017! No wonder why it doesn't show up in any inventory. Its previous three
variations without middle contact hole are in the catalog though.

3) TLG added middle contact hole sine 1981 or maybe earlier because I have a
train 4.5v motor with middle contact hole whose production date is 07/07/1980.
The battery box with middle contact hole is meant for a wire with middle contact
hole and [p=62160m2]

The wire with middle contact hole doesn't go through.

I can vouch for the newer 3-hole / 3-prong elements in all of these sets. Pretty
much everything from the early eighties and on had the middle prong.

I am sure everything in 1980 until late 1980 didn't have middle contact hole
but everythin since 1981 had middle contact hole. I think very early 1981 is
the exact time. For train 12v motors and 12v swiches 4707pbXX I am sure it is.
For others, there is no way to verify it.
