Re: Traditional ways of tying cables together.
I hadn't actually tried using waxed whipping twine as lacing cord as I have a couple of large spools of the black plastic-covered stuff, but I tried it just now and it works well. The stuff I use comes on spools the size of 3" tape/cine spools. It turns out to be a convenient size, as the spool can be easily passed through the loops that you need to make when lacing up, and the twine cut to size on completion, reducing waste. I was taught how to use lacing cord by a wireman, whose name I can't recall, at Plessey, West Leigh, when I was a student, and it has been a useful skill.
