That's pretty neat Roy. I wish we were still in that era. I think things were alot simpler then. Maybe not perfect, but nicer.

I just checked, 1956 was the year marked on the page in the advertisement. I always have fun showing this image, PPE? Huh? what's that?

The image show a few defects.

Can you recognize which ones they are.

I remember Kaiser pimping aluminum on the old Warner Brothers shows (Maverick, 77 Sunset Strip etc). They were still selling Jeeps too.

lol.....man I would have to be really going through a hang over to cite any code violations on a poor guy who was doing some work back before I was freakin born..lol.....(OPPS..thanks MARC......I got Non-Metalic Cable on the BRAIN for some reason.....I said 12" support from box...lol....go figure.....hell I am grasping. )

Plus I would like to know where he plans on terminating those conductors coming in on the right......lol.....already has the three on the left to go to the fused terminals.....hmmm........possible our FIRST image of a historic DOUBLE tap before it happens........NEWS FLASH...Roy's family created the FIRST potential double tap.....seen here...before it happened....

Wonder if those old disconnects had air gap space behind them...heck I don't know........man it's black and white...thats the first defect......GOD i thank you for modern pictures....oh and you to Mr. Kodak

Man......I just am WRONG.....on so many levels today...sigh...Damn Grey Goose !

Nope...

From the '05 NEC 344.30(A) "...RMC shall be securely fastened within 900 mm (3 ft) of each outlet box, junction box, device box, cabinet, conduit body, or other conduit termination."

If this brochure was dated 1956, the 1953 NEC would likely have been in force at the time the photograph was taken.

From the '53 NEC 3004 "...Raceways, cable assemblies, boxes, cabinets and fittings shall, unless otherwise provided, be securely fastened in place."
