Speed, the auto-contradicting senile sociopath, blabbered, again:


They didn't bother with earthing for lights in those days! Lead was to
provide weatherproofing and also to keep ozone away from the rubber, which
would otherwise crack.

I've still got rubber extension cords that my dad used for
an electric lawnmower in the late 1940s, no cracks at all.

What an IDIOT! LOL
