[ARC5] Cable lacing

[Jack Antonio]

Hi all

For those who are interested in lacing cable harnesses
I found a web site that gives basic lacing instructions.

The URL is:

www.dairiki.org/hammond/cable-lacing-howto/

I found the site by doing a Google search on "wire lacing".
The ARRL handbook only showed how to do the basic
stitch, but not how to start or end the lacing, this page
goes into detail how to handle terminations and breakouts.

McMaster Carr sells the waxed linen cord, it's a
little pricey at 40 bucks a spool, but that buys you
about 1200 feet, or roughly about 400' of harnessing.
(I have no connection with McMaster Carr).

Hope this info helps somebody

Jack
