Abstract
In one embodiment, an electrical power distribution apparatus is disclosed which includes a track made up of a plurality of track sections connected together by/to joints and end sections. The track sections are each provided with a slot with which a power point connector may be engaged at any point by inserting a contact member of the connector through the slot at a chosen point and then rotating the connector by 90 degrees to bring the contact member into engagement with electrical conductors of the track. The apparatus may comprise a further conduit containing conductors used to distribute communication signals.
