[Elecraft] [OT] Zip Wire Misrepresentation?

[Dick Dickinson]

“Is this becoming common practice or is

wire going the way of 2X4 lumber?”

 

“Bad analogy.  The 2 X 4 inch measurement of a piece of construction lumber

is before planning, or rough cut lumber.  The finished dimension is more

like 3½ X 1½ which hasn't changed.”

 

Not so bad an analogy.  A planed 2 x 4 used to be 3 5/8” x 1 5/8”.
