Сторінка 18 - Must not be drawn in until all mechanical work on the building has been, as far as possible, completed. p. Must, for alternating systems, have the two or more wires of a circuit drawn in the same conduit. It is advised that this be done for direct-current systems also, so that they may be changed to alternating systems at any time, induction troubles preventing such a change unless this construction is followed. For concealed ' ' knob and tube '
Сторінка 17 - Junction boxes may be inserted in the conduit system at the required intervals, in which insulating supports of approved type must be installed and secured in a satisfactory manner so as to withstand the weight of the conductors attached thereto, the boxes to be provided with proper covers.
Сторінка 43 - The lower limit is specified for rubber-covered wires to prevent gradual deterioration of the high insulations by the heat of the wires, but not from fear of igniting the insulation. The question of drop is not taken into consideration in the above tables.
