[ARC5] Wire

[Fred Cousins]

"A common item in hardware stores through at least the 1940s was twisted
pair electrical wire called "drop cord".  This was a pair of stranded,
rubber-covered conductors and then each conductor had a braided yellow
and green textile covering.  I think one of the wires included a little
bit of red thread so they could be told apart."


They still make it - This company specializes in "Drop Cord"

I also know a company that makes thick ignition wire for restored
tractors and farm equipment. I wonder if this would work as a  safe HV
wire in final amplifiers.
