Lighting Wiring Consideration.

Zoomup
I am going to use some Henley Paper Insulated House Wiring cable for a lighting circuit. The manufacturer is W.T. Henley's Telegraph Works Company Ltd., Holborn Viaduct, London E.C.1.I am using their Section CA catalogue.

The cable is called YT type. It is paper insulated house wire.


I am thinking of using 3.029 inch twin cable. It is rated at 7.8 Amps. I will use a 5 Amp fuse in the fuse box.


Q1. What is the cable outer covering made of?


Q.2. What is the weight of the cable per 1,000 yards in cwt?


Q.3. What is the price per 1,000 yards.


The year is 1927, the month June.


Z.


Edit. Some minor typos corrected.

    50 yards will be enough.


    I normally just keep 50 metre drums of cable on board my work van to reduce the total weight. That is normally enough for most small jobs, emergency repairs and the "Oh, while you are here" work.
