I've seen this exactly once. It's when the old guys used to use porcelean
insulators, nailed in. They would string the wire from porcelean to
porcelean.

Sometimes seen in very old barns.

I have seen this mentioned in reference to blowing in cellulose insulation,
and how it is a fire hazard. What exactly is this type of wiring? I have a
house built in 1961, and as far as I know, it just has the cable with fabric
sheathing.
