All wiring shall be for the parallel two-wire system of distribution.

(Note.-A complete description of the cabinets should be given covering material, doors, hinges, locks, finish, etc.; also stating what parts, if any, will be furnished by other contractors, specifying what switches are to be placed in the cabinets, and locating and describing cabinets for switches alone if such are to be provided; if name plates are to be furnished so specify and describe.)

The terminals of all risers, mains and taps shall be brought together in cabinets at the points designated in this specification and on the plans. (If wiring contractor does not furnish cut-outs and
