But 26 INTERIOR WIRING. 45 before entering upon the matter of how to improve the planof the wiring, we will consider some of the fittings andmethods of work that should be used upon aninstallation of this kind. FITTINGS USED FOR EXPOSED WIRING. 6-4. Open work must always be put up as though there were no insulation whatever on the. Fig. 21. wires themselves. The wires must be supportedon insulators so as not to come into contact with
