[R-390] Some progress

[Helmut Usbeck]

Guess I'll stick my two electrical cents in here.  NYC electrical codes
are still all copper, along with no Romex wiring, just BX.  No
permit variances are allowed.

Nassau and Suffolk Counties next door on Long Island allowed aluminium
wire back in the seventies and several fires in new homes were attributed
to it.  It's not allowed any more with existing aluminium wiring
requiring a copper splice before any hookup.

The thing to remember about aluminium is it's not a metal.
