    Ken, I hope you don't mind, but I copied your picture to insert it in a post.

    This looks like someones jerry rigged job. Replace with an octagonal box and a bulb holder (with pull chain). Should cost you about $3 and take 30 minutes.

    They are factory inserts,just not standard pull down style,they mounted from the sides,the sockets dropped-in and the pull chains rolled from the tops instead of the sides...

    Not really possible with a floor lamp.

    Ken,

    In this case, the picture is about 999 words short of 100 words in terms of a description.

    From what I see, it looks as if the socket is mounted to a studding. If there is more we need to see to understand the installation, you need to either tell us or add some more pictures.
