What is their smallest diameter?

[Tony Clayton]

The smallest in the examples I made is just under 4mm outside diameter.

In the "Good Ol' Days" this was commonly called "Spaghetti". I think I still have some in the junk box.

My portion of this part of this project is complete. Possibly more to come.

Here's the more. A supply wire done in the same Edison feild wire styling.

Color can be lighter as well.

Hi Tony-

I've only ever seen braided wire, but this appears to be coiled.

What applications would this have been used in?

What would the benefit of this sheathing be?

Thanks...

This was a customer request. The objective was to look like the Edison feild wire. My concern when ask to do it ,was it's not a braid. Therefore susceptible to unwrapping under consint articulation. I think I 🤔 solved that with a modification to the process. The benefit is purely esthetic. Just simply looks old. Not a modern cookie cutter comerically made wire. Certainly not for everyone. But it's nice to have options.
