Some more scans from 1935-1936. There was a full article about the last 2 images but I can't seem to find it, IIRC it said the cables were lead sheathed and 5" diameter. I enjoy carrying out challenging installations but I think I'll pass on that one...

Aren't these vintage publications so well illustrated and written in such an engaging way! Even the font styles are a joy to behold.

Oops I missed one:

The red paragraph also answers the question of why old copper cables used to be tinned.
