Splicing wire

[lelandtampa]

I can remember reading in Florida sportsman when I was a kid a Vic Dunaway article about the Western Union splice. And how some connections he did as a young man were still intact. This was if course before the days of shrink tube. They just had liqiid electrical tape and untinned wire. Speaks to the tenacity of the joint if they held up with substandard coverings.
