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.

    How long was the cable on lead drums.  I should imagine if 100m rolls there could have been problems with in flattening out in places under the weight as well as extremely difficult to cart around in the larger sizes.  Especially if you only had a bicycle.  :)


    Probably one of the reasons they only put a couple of sockets in a house as well as not having many appliances
