Comments: You should include lineman slang. Example: Good Girl=threadless hubbard eye. It has no threads so it has never been screwed.

Comments: At Florida Power and Light this is known as a "sister eye". You know what a "dumb grunt" is? It's a chain on a pole "crab". The chain links are fited with steel rings. When installed on a pole this fixture give a place to snub off rope blocks, etc that are being used for stick work. ABChance stil shows a version of it, listed as "rope snubbing bracket, M1846W"

Comments: I have worked in the Underground Electrical System for the city of Los Angeles, California, for the past 20 years. I was schooled by the "old timers". I splice PILC (lead covered) cable on a daily basis, some of it dating to the 1930's. I would be happy to answer any questions regarding such- terminology, slang, tools, methods, etc. Regards, John Robb. Senior Cable Splicer, Lead Specialist, City of L.A.

Comments: I was interested in your story about Appleton vs Gedney in the sealtight wars. I wonder if this took place while Gedney had his plant near Bristol Ct? Sealtight or liquidtight had it's birth in that area (as I was told). There was a US Rubber plant in Naugatuk Ct. that developed a method to bind vinyl to a fabric backing material. The product was called "Naugahide". Later they learned to apply the vinyl to flexible metal conduit giving the electrical trade its liquidtite aka sealtight. The plant has been closed for some years now...

Comments: Great site. I work on the online catalog for GE Supply and this should come in handy. One thing I will mention, though. You list a 1 hole strap as a "Jiffy Clip". All of our contractors use "Jiffy Clip" as a term for a "Battleship". I've never had any call a 1 hole strap this. Great site. Thanks

I am a researcher in the field of early radios and I am interested in particular in one of the catalogs you show on your list(1924 Pettingell-Andrews catalog). Is it possible to obtain a copy of this catalog? If not, then is it possible to obtain a copy or scan of several photos in the catalog? Of course, I would be happy to pay. Thanks much. Regards, Eric

Comments: Hello, I have been searching for sometime for an older style wire ripper and was wondering if you may be able to point me in the right direction. It may also be a good item to add to your slang if someone may know another term for it. I'll try and describe it: The wire ripper was primarly used for stripping the outer sheath from romex. It was about 3 or 4 inches in length and it had the shape of an offset. It had 4 blades on it pointing out the front and back on each end. One end would rip 14-2 to 10-2 (I think) and the other would rip 14-3 and 12-3. I think the blades were even removable. (so they could be changed) To use it all you had to do was hold it in the palm of your hand and lay the wire over the blade then hold your thumb on the back side of the wire and run it down to the end of the romex. I bought one about 4 or 5 years ago in Southern California. So I think they were made up until then. (I hope that they still made) Thanks, Bill Robertson By the way, I enjoy your site very much!!!

Comments: "pork chop". I once was asked for this item. I later found out that the customer wanted a grip, like the "Chicago" grips made by Klein Tools. Also, I recently was asked for "Johnny Balls". It must have something to do with utility line hardware, but I don't know what they are. Can you find out?

Comments: I work for an Electrical Distributor in Kansas City MO. I work in the marketing dept. and product our catalog. It has appox. 425 pages. My Question is How can I get a list of the items. I notice that there is quite a number of them. I am referring to such things as wire cutters (Rabbit Gun). In our pictures we sometimes put in the slang name if we know it. Thank you, Bill Planck

Comments: Your site is fantastic. I enjoyed it a lot. I'm a licensed electrician (retired). I presently teach various technical courses, including electrical to building inspectors. I hope you will allow me to reproduce with permission various sections from your site. It would NOT be commercially sold. It would be used in a classroom setting as a supplemental handout to other course material. I hope you say yes. Thank you. Sincerely, Corey Friedman

Comments: Hello, I am trying to locate a particlar radio that appeared in a Pettingell-Andrews Company Electrical Merchandise Catalog. I noticed that you listed a Pettingell catalog #25. 25 ed (1924)on your web site, and I was wondering if you could tell me whether the picture I am looking for appears in that catalog. I have a JPG of the picture that I could email you. I am doing this for some research on a book, and any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Eric Wenaas

Comments: This is a great site. Youve done your homework well. just have one comment.I have worked in the trade in Hawaii for the last 25 years, and three in Florida before that. In Hawaii wood molding for the purpose of a cover over nmc is still sold in the wholesale houses, home depot, hardware stores, etc. The NEC sure doesn't allow for it but all the local inspectors approve it. It comes in 3 sizes and at least there is two distinctive routed marker lines in the front edges to simplify recognition of it as a wire cover. However, times I have gotten call outs to repair where a "malanihi" (newcomer to the Islands) carpenter has saw cut thru a live cable while enlarging or demo a doorframe that had a redwood molding covering a new switch leg drop.

Comments: I work for a consulting engineering firm. I hope that the old timer can help me . Can you help me identify the terminology for some very old wiring that I need to deal with on a project. I can't find anyone who has seen it before. It is a single conductor in a tube like conduit that is wrapped in what I believe is a copper jacket. I have a picture off it. I can not attach it here. Can you please email me and I can send it to you. I think that you will be interested in this stuff. Thank You.

Comments: This is a great site. Are there more sites like yours? If so, please add them to your "links" page. I have often wondered how certain tools or products got their name, like the tool "pipe hickey", or "hickey" for short. Or, one tool I especially like to use, a "Chicago Bender". Or, how about the "Ericson"? Just who was Mr. Ericson, anyway? I, myself, became interested in antique electrical tools and devices after touring the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. They have a huge display of old electrical products, such as, fuses, light fixtures, switches, receptacles, etc. They might be able to help you with additions to your site. I have been in the trade since 1973 and my brother started in '74. My father started in 1956 and retired in '92. All tolled, that's 95 years in the trade for my family. Thanks, again for a GREAT web site. Frankly, I think that it's more educational than amusing. Mike

Comments: Your entry for "Go For Em", as a transition between two different types of raceway, is known in these parts as a "Go-from", as in "Over there, the conduit will GO FROM emt to flex." Thus, the fitting used there became known as a "Go-from" This seems to make a lot more sense than "Go For Em". I suspect it may be an error in pronunciation as it is not a stretch to go from "Go-from" to "Go for em ".

Comments: I am currently working on a project regarding electrical trade slang. In my research, I was wondering why your website's slang format of font (in the pull-down box of terms) are inconsistent. Does slang typed in all-caps mean something different than the terms that only start capitalized? If you could advise at your earliest convenience, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your assistance! Regards, Bria Day

Comments: You have an interesting website. I'm sort of the unofficial historian for the Antique fan collectors association. Would you be interested in selling or trading photo copies of any literature of images of old electric fans and their companies? I'm not interested in the originals as I'm not a collector but my interest is in the history. I have a few old books that relate tales of electricity such as the turning on of the first lights in St Paul and how to hook up an 1897 Holtzer Cabot motor etc. Just let me know. Would you be interested in swapping links with the antique fan collector? Loren Haroldson

Comments: Bird, birding, Jetbird A device forced thru conduit with compressed nitrogen that has a thin foam head and a thin clear tube body thay is filled with thin nylon string. The line is tied to a nearby conduit, the bird is pushed into the conduit head first, then a tapered rubber cone attached to a valve and a gas bottle is pressed to the conduit and fired. The bird flies thru the conduit and pops out. As long as there is sufficient line in the bird, it can be reused. The were made by a company called Jetline in the late '60's and early '70's.

Comments: Love your site - sent in several "new" terms and learned a lot, but I gotta yell at you for this one... "DYKES" = "LINEMAN'S PLIERS"? Whaddya, nuts? %) "Linemans" aka "Kliens", or _maybe_ "side cutters" (although I've only seen that in catalogs. The term "Dykes" comes from "Diagonal Cutters" (Diagonal Cutting Pliers, to be precise) - Check out Kleintools.com - item # D248-95T for a BIG set. If I'd handed my foreman a set of Kliens when he called for Dykes, I'd have looked really funny at the end of the day with a set of plastic coated handles sticking outta my forehead! BTW- don't take this too hard... you're doin' great if this is my biggest complaint!

Comments: Two things - hear HAND BENDERS referred to as "Benfield Benders" (actually a Klein product). This comes from Jack Benfield, the guy who invented/perfected the hand bender by adding angle markers to the arc of the bender. NEW TERM: The Gardner Bender "Hand Caddy" (GB P/N WSP100E) - A formed and welded piece of steel tubing that allows an electrician to carry and dispense wire from multiple reels during installations. Other Mfg's as well. AKA: Reeler, spooler, wire caddy, spool tote.

Comments: Hi, folks! I was looking through some of the slang terms, and noticed "Black Button". I'm not sure why my compadres in the high-voltage divisions call them this, but their term is "One-times". I guess it is because a piece of Romex pushed through the button after it is installed in the hole will only allow the Romex to move once... Jeff

Comments: "Sailboat" Stamped sheet metal device used to secure receptical box in walls for "old work" by slipping "Sailboat" up and them down in space on each side of box and then bending (2) tabs over into box. (Hard to find and almost obsolete with new style "old work" boxes with pivoting tabs.) Never did know the real name for these... I helped my Dad (Journeyman Electrician and Farmer) for years and "Sailboats" all I ever heard them called. Neat Website... Bob

The owner or CEO of that company was Russel Dart (brothers or inlaws may have been involved). The company was sold around 1910. Do you have any further information concerning the Alphaduct company, it's products and what has become of the company? Thank you. Sincerely, Christopher Dart

Comments: Love the site......ever since I found it I keep coming back.....Have you ever heard of a "911" switch.....I have seen one in all my 22 years in trade. It is nothing more than a single-pole switch....but with a 3rd position in the middle marked "911"....The explanation I got for this was as follows: When the phone company and local law enforcement agencies created the "911" program....they just made it available in the larger, more populated towns. The use for the "911" switch was for these areas that did not have that service available to them. If they installed this switch for their front porch light, in the event of an emergency, they could flip the switch to the middle position, and the light would start blinking, therefore alerting neighbors or passers-by of the emergency. I know who has the switch I have mentioned, and I will get a picture of it and send it to you....Thanks again for the great site.

Comments: The Baldor motor that is displayed when the word "Peckerhead" is searched seems to have a capacitor cover on the top. The hole near the end of the motor is where the peckerhead would normally be attached. If a higher horsepower motor were pictured a truer representation of a pecker head would be seen. I do, however, like your web site.

Comments: Please be advised that I have encountered an error on your site. ON your pull-down list, the item "8BO" box (I have called this an 8B Box for years) shows a different item in the picture than in the description. Your graphic picture shows a RACO #110, but the description shows a #125. While the pictures may appear to be similar, they are quite different. A Raco #110 is a 3½" octogon box, while the #125 is a 4" octogon box. There are different knockout configurations on the rear of each box. Here is the link for Raco 110: http://www.hubbellcatalog.com/raco/RACO_datasheet.asp?PN=110&FAM=RacoBoxes And the link for the 125: http://www.hubbellcatalog.com/raco/RACO_datasheet.asp?PN=125&FAM=RacoBoxes For what it is worth, the slang term I have used for years for the Raco #110 is a "17A" box, and you might want to add that one to your list.

Comments: A few years ago I found a box of Killark glass tube fuses in an antique store. Having sold Killark for a number of years, I decided to buy them as I had not heard of Killark selling fuses. With a little research, I found out that Killark was first the "Kill the Arc Fuse Company". Joseph Desloge who founded the company in 1913 invented the electric fuse as we know it today. The name of the company was later shortened to Killark and the discontinued making fuses and became a supplier of condulets and other fittings that they are known for today.

You can grab a picture to put in place of the one that does't work off this page: http://www.tnb.com/ps/fulltilt/index.cgi?part=8100 Take care..

Comments: As "Smurf Tube", your description shows "protective conduit for fiber optic cable. Normally Orange. Carlon is smurf blue." This is incorrect. Smurf Tube is the nickname for ENT (Electrical Nonmetalic Tubing) used in electrical applications, the industry standard color is blue for electrical. Per Carlon's web site: http://www.carlon.com/Flexible%20Raceway/FlexPlus_ENTApprovedUses.html 362.2 Definition. Electrical Nonmetallic Tubing (ENT). A nonmetallic pliable corrugated raceway of circular cross section with integral or associated couplings, connectors, and fittings for the installation of electric conductors... II. APPROVED USES ENT can be used in place of EMT, Rigid Galvanized Steel, AC or MC/ cable and NM cable. (Section 362.10 of NEC) ENT can be used in residential, commercial, schools, condominiums, apartments and industrial applications. A typical Carlon product code is 12005AK-001 for 1/2 inch. The "Protective Conduit...normally orange." Describes Innerduct (not interduct), a seperate product. "Carflex" (not Carlflex) is yet another product, it is non-metallic liquidtight conduit.

Comments: A term I've heard for anti-short bushings is chicken lips. I also sent one in for fluorescent fixture sockets...the white plastic ones I often hear them referred to as tombstone fittings. They do look like tombstones in a way.

Comments: "having the wire inserted under the flat part of the screw". This is incorrect, it should read: having the wire inserted between the wall, side opposite of the screw, and the ground rod and tightening the screw against the rod to complete the connection. (To install the wire in the quoted directions will result in cut wires and incomplete grounding installation resulting in a bad ground connection which can cause a possible electrocution and/or fire not to mention possible electronics failure.)

Comments: I have noticed that in searching your site that quite a few pictures are not being shown. I am in the trades, so I do know what a lot of these items look like that you are refering to but I do not know all of them. If it is possible for you to go through and replace these missing pictures I believe it will help most of us who are not familar these regional terms. Thank you.

I do NOT know a lot of the slange used in other parts of the country so your site is a big help in understanding what they are talking about. Hats off to you!!!

Comments: I am a former teacher and former General Contractor. I also have an interest in the etymology of words or their origins. Sometimes I come across an item from the trades that I know from a slang term but don't know how it is used or what it's official name is. For instance, I searched the term "battleship", (I actually have some), but could not remember just how they were used. Your site was the only one I found that even came close...regular search engines only refer to the naval vessel known as a battleship. Thanks for such a great resource...I will be recommending your site to my contractor friends. Pastor Ron Hoak, gresham, OR
