Lacing twineshould then be stitched around the cable to hold thewires permanently in position. The proper stitch touse is shown in Fig. 7. Another method to secure the same results consistsof drilling small holes, about % inch in diameter,through the board at the outside X marks and push-ing the proper wires through these holes and thenstitching the cable with lacing twine as already ex-plained. The conductors should then be cut off at a pointabout 1 inch beyond that required to reach the ter-minals when the cable is in its final position. The in-. Board used for conve-nience in fanning outand sewing up cablesso they will have theproper shape for con-necting to the termin-als. Small nails aredriven in the X marksor small holes bored forthe proper wires. sulation of each wire should then be removed to about1 inch from the end. This is usually done by squeez-ing the insulation with a pair of flat-nose pliers. Ifsufficient pressure is applied, the insulation can thenbe easily removed. A knife should not be used for cut-ting the insulation. A knife may nick the wire, laterresulting in a break and causing trouble. After the insulation has been removed, the cable should be takenoff the forming board and connected to the is advisable to shellac the formed portion of thecable with a transparent shellac, which will preventthe insulation from fraying. Care should be takento remove any piece of wire which may have fallenin among the terminals while wiring. This is often asource of trouble if not done.
