WHY are the symbols for power on / off “|” and “◯”?

535 views

What are/were they meant to represent? When were they introduced? I can’t find any consistent reliable sources. I’d really appreciate references if anyone has any!

The circle is open circuit and the line is closed circuit. Open circuit means off, closed means on.
