SURFACE WIRING SYSTEMS
STAND FOR
SAFETY SIMPLICITY, ECONOMY.
That there are two types of Surface Wiring is common knowledge, but the two best systems to instal for such requirements, may not be generally known,
1. The MAGNET" Motal sheathed system using wire covered with pure load, (not an alloy). All fittings bonded to the lead aboath and earthed.
2. The "MAGNET" C.T.8. system using wite covered with hard rubber, and bakelite accosserias, forming an all insulated Вувіст.
The above constitute the two outstanding systems for surface wiring. They comply with all the regulations, includ- Ing those of the Fire Insurance Offlees.
