[Milsurplus] Cable lacing

Sun, 11 Apr 2004 15:54:28 -0700

I have a NASA booklet "Soldering Electrical Connections", dated 1967,
which contains a section on cable lacing. They state "the materials
commonly used for continous lacing are lacing tape, cord or small
diameter tubing", the various illistrations show the lacing done with a
flt black tape.
Hope this helps the discussion.
