That led work is probably 80 years old too.
I never located Ped. O. I never looked and now that you mention it, I should've paid closer attention—woulda made a good or terrible comedy piece.
Thanks for reblogging this one @splatts.

Ya dude, I used to run into those in downtown Fresno. I actually have a led straight splice at the shop that I got from under the Fresno County courthouse. When I left Fresno I remember there only being 2 guys in the area that could led splice. I was able to be taught by one guy to do a led to plastic splice. Basically led to brand new cable transition splice. It took forever to just do one. What a cool experience.
They called in medium voltage in my world, those parallel 500's in a plastic coated flex, seen it? Man, one of those splices takes half a day.
What the heck do you wireman call high voltage then. LOL. I Remember removing some old cable that had all 3 phases in one piece of cable. I was 3-250kcmil copper separated by paper soaked in PCB oil, then a led shield around that, then this weird tape stuff that acted like an outer jacked. I had to snatch up a piece of that too. I will have to take a couple photos and send them to you when I go to the shop.
I know exactly what you're talking about. That paper jacket. Then the ones with the semi-con and the splice material for it.
Yeah man, it changed depending whether or not I was in the utility local or an inside local. Inside, anything over 240 is high voltage.
In that particular utility local, 24 and under was low voltage, 25-12.5kv was medium voltage and everything over that is high.
They got really odd politics too that I never grew accustomed to. Their own training program, civil service code of ethics—the whole 9.
