Whats the oldest type of wiring sytem you have had to work on/repair/replace

[Pete999]

Carrying on from the types of cables etc got me wondering, what are the oldest types of wiring you have worked on?
Myself I can recall working with Lead covered cables, cleated singles, capping and casing (no not PVC trunking) TRS, VIR Bare MICC apart from us old timers, the list wont mean much to many of you.

David M, That's a hell of a way to get a job - nailing the gas pipe like that.
Is your mate a gas fitter too? Both got work out of it?

I jest

I know, though I did use at least a dozen nails and missed with half of them

Found this unusual cable in an old council house. I think it was used in pre-fab steel framed houses after the war. I was going to send some to Lucien but unfortunately couldn't gain access after the work.
