Many "Non-Nema" plugs are still on the market in being made. So what was that... hot towards hook or other concept in wiring them right or wrong? Perhaps one at a time get them swapped out our at least for a standard do a paint marker standard in wiring them both hot terminals for you in how it's wired. Someone wiring up such a thing in seeing a white verses black marked terminal would get the idea. Switch over with time or with a few hundred in cash or parts.
Strange, these connectors were installed in a new high school I have mentioned in previous posts! Its brand new and was just built last year...

Only the older TLGO connectors were made from Bakelite. Newer ones are plastic and Nylon, just like the L5-20.... I would think connectors that have the tendency to break like that explained earlier would be hard to get past code, ...
Most of us can think of many more reasons NOT to use a TwistLock connector, there Pork: http://www.controlbooth.com/forums/lighting/11759-2p-g-stage-pin-vs-edison-vs-twist-lock.html....I can think of a few good reasons to have all twist locking power cables. ...

Our theatre dept on campus has these plugs all throughout their theatre (built in the 60's)
However, there's some older plugs in the floor pockets that have spring loaded centers with 3 pins similar to a twistlock plug. Never seen these in my life, and we've got 2 or 3 boxes full of these in storage. Something tells me they were removed at sometime and upgraded to the current twistlock that we have now.
I'm just fortunate that my theatre has all stage pin, I hate dealing with adapters just to make everything work.
on those old ones, is the center of the female a plastic plate that pushes in, and the male has a solid plastic post sticking out of it with contacts on the sides of it? Those are cool as they are listed for disconnecting under load. They are still used in industry and hospitals use them for X ray machines and stuff. I forget the name of them, but hubbell calls them hubbellock
