Regulation for using a cable reel?

[Paisley]

Been working at a cinema refurbishment but our firm are not doing the data cables or the speakers. It got to the end of the day and the people who are doing that side of things were pulling what looked like t+e through the studwork on the back wall of one of the screens. The roll was not on a reel, was just lying flat on the floor and as you can imagine there was a twist every foot of the run (which goes along the back wall then down the left and right walls to the speakers). Even though it is just speaker wire could it still create a build up of heat from the eddy currents? I thought I saw in the OSG a regulation about using a cable reel to avoid twists when pulling cables but have looked through it and found nothing. Looked through a few parts of the regs book too and couldn't find anything there either. I expect the builders will start to board over it tomorrow so thought I'd post a query up on here as I know this can be a very informative forum. Cheers guys

How did we do it so neatly all those years ago,with no reel cable toys,it’s a doddle le,personally it’s great to have 2 or 3 drums on the go,but hey,it’s fine without the cable reeler,never had any trouble,but I have seen others get in a right state
Regulation your having a laugh ha ha ha

The old guys when I started out, 1962, used to boast how they installed 2 lights and a plug for £20,
pre-nationalization, the really good ones could apparently get the lead Twin, lead sheath was the earth, up a wall clipped without disturbing the french chalk used to stop it sticking together. As an apprentice once only was I involved installing a cooker circuit in lead, there was an earth wire in that one. The good old SEB had stock they wanted used. Interesting though how genuine tradespeople take a real pride in their skills relevant to the time they worked in. I see exactly the same today across all ages a desire to do the best possible, not always appreciated by customers, some of whom have a tendency to be sniffy about tradespeople, the people we most of us want to impress though are people who are on here and do the same work or have done. We know that they understand why something is good and they are usually happy to say so.
