I have this 1920's lamp with three sockets I need to wire. The link below
leads to a picture of the top part of the lamp. The only parts that can be
removed are the sockets and the short curved pieces to which they attach.
The shaft can't be removed from the lamp. There is not enough room in the
ball at the top of the lamp for wire nuts, and I can't get three pieces of
lamp cord down through the shaft so I can make the connections inside the
lamp base. Any ideas how I can wire this? Thanks.

Use very small wire. Each lamp will only need 1 amp or less. All you have
to worry about is the insulation being rated for 120 volts or more.
Number 20 or even maybe 22 would carry each bulb.
