[Boatanchors] Multicore solder specifications?

[MICHAEL TALLENT]

It might be Ersin Multicore solder.  US made solder is usually sized by the 
diameter, not wire gauge.  I have some Ersin here and it is labeled 22 swg 
and Sn63 (eutectic) and has the numbers 738/397.  I prefer eutectic solder 
as it seems to make the best joint and melts easy.  Ersin is my favorite 
solder and it has worked very well for me.  Also remember if it is Ersin 
solder made in England, you have to solder using your left hand.
