Hi Jack

Thanks for the interesting URL. Many decades ago, I used to
lace cables as part of my job installing switchboards and other
voice communication equipment. Used to have lots of pride with
a job well done, then we changed over to plastic cable ties. It
was much faster of course, but just didn't look or feel the same.
Forty bucks a roll, wow, have prices ever changed. No wonder
they use ties now. I still have a small roll of # 6 that I use when
repairing some of the older gear. My # 12 twine is long gone.
