  2. Western Union splice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_union_splice

    The 1915 textbook Practical Electric Wiring describes the construction of the Western Union splice; short tie and long tie. The short tie splice has it being formed after stripping the insulation from a pair of wires for several inches, each, crossing the wires left over right as shown in figure part A; then, a hooked cross (figure part B) is formed holding the crossing point of the two wires ...

  3. Knob-and-tube wiring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knob-and-tube_wiring

    Over the K&T era multiple wire types evolved. Early wiring was insulated with cotton cloth and soft rubber, while later wiring was much more robust. Although the actual wire covering may have degraded over the decades, the porcelain standoffs have a nearly unlimited lifespan and will keep any bare wires safely insulated.

  4. Lightbulb socket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightbulb_socket

    Mogul bi-post (G38) can handle up to 100 amps and is used with searchlights and film & stage lighting fixtures of 1000 watts or larger. Incandescent, halogen and HMI light sources use this design. Medium bi-post (G22) is used with film & stage lighting fixtures between 250 and 1000 watts. Mini bi-post (G4-G6) Common types:

  5. Wire gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_gauge

    Each notch is stamped with a number, and the wire or sheet, which just fits a given notch, is stated to be of, say, No. 10, 11, 12, etc., of the wire gauge. The circular forms of wire gauge measurement devices are the most popular, and are generally 3 + 3 ⁄ 4 inches (95 mm) in diameter, with thirty-six notches; many have the decimal ...

  6. Rail fastening system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_fastening_system

    The tie plate increases bearing area and holds the rail to correct gauge. It is fastened to wooden ties by means of spikes or bolts through holes in the plate. The part of the plate under the rail base is tapered, setting the inboard cant of the rail, typically "one in forty" (or 1.4 degrees ).

  7. Electrical conduit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_conduit

    It is a new type of plastic wire conduit in the industry. Compared with PVC electrical conduit, it has three advantages. First: low smoke. Due to the unique material and formula, LSZH conduit only produces a small amount of black smoke when burning, and most compounds will absorb heat energy and release steam when burning.

  8. Utility pole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility_pole

    The pole may be grounded with a heavy bare copper or copper-clad steel wire running down the pole, attached to the metal pin supporting each insulator, and at the bottom connected to a metal rod driven into the ground. Some countries ground every pole while others only ground every fifth pole and any pole with a transformer on it.

  9. Gooseneck (fixture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gooseneck_(fixture)

    A wire with a triangular cross-section is wound around this, so that the tips of the triangle protrude between the round wires into the inner spiral. [1] If the gooseneck is bent in one direction, the distance between the round wires is slightly larger on the outside and slightly smaller on the inside.
