A few years back I rewired the odd installation or two that contained lead sheathed T & E.
Quite interesting.
One such I remember was occupied by an elderly couple so I rewired before stripping out the old therefore the only power loss was a couple of hours on changeover day.
I looked in the loft and the cpc joints were interesting - wrapped twisted "fusewire" stuff connecting all sheaths just prior entry to the joint boxes (which were often old tobacco tins) .
When moved slightly there were some interesting little sparks seen. (Yes I did isolate off those circuits before walking in the loft)
