    Can you explain to breaker info to me?

    I am buying a house and it was built in 1949. Is there anyway I can tell if it has tube wiring without opening up the walls? Is there anything else I need to watch out for with a home built in 1949? Also can anyone explain these 2 photos to me? Does any of it explain if there is tube wiring?
