old wiring
I've got some post and tube wiring in my house, and I was told that if I
upgrade the electrical system at all, I have to rewire everything to current code standards. The only way to avoid that requirement, AIUI, is to paint arrows indicating the direction of electrical flow on the old wires, every six inches, with Testor's plastic model cement, in Chevy Orange. The problem I'm having is that I can't figure out whether to paint those arrows using the electron flow version of circuit theory, or conventional current. Anyone familiar with the NEC on that issue? |

Assuming it's AC, maybe the arrows will need to be animated. :-) -- The e-mail address in our reply-to line is reversed in an attempt to minimize spam. Our true address is of the form . |

Yeah, posting fake code questions is much better than trying to actually interpret the code. Mock what you don't understand. |

So you spotted it as a fake right off, huh, even cleverly woven in subtlety as it was? Nice work. |

I think to be sure you should use arrows with heads on both ends. |

I've always heard it called "knob and tube wiring". The NEC code requires a "~" sine wave symbol on the hot wire and "@" drain symbol on the cold wire. There is also a symbol that looks like the Swiss flag for the neutral wire. There is another sticker that looks like our planet Earth for the ground/earth wire. [8~{} Uncle Monster |

S2: Clearly you are not one of the Inner Circle, or you would realize that we only made up all that electric-current stuff to delude the masses. Light bulbs actually contain specially trained fireflies, who wake up when they hear the switch click. Quiet switches were developed when advancing technology allowed manufacturers to raise the frequency of the wake-up tone past the range of human hearing. "Electrocution" is actually a strong, often fatal, psychosomatic reaction to the touching of a "current-carrying" conductor. That's how well we have people trained. Some professionals are so thoroughly brainwashed as to spontaneously combust when contacting a "high-voltage" conductor. The power of the mind is astonishing. G P |
