Making a Space with a Chain Line ^^^_^ I. HANGINGPLASTER Making an opening for electrical wiring AN electrician was called to do someL wiring in a brick house where theplaster was put on lath nailed to avertical strip fastened to the bricks. Inapplying the plaster numerous hangersor hooks back of the lath were in the way(if the conduit. It was an easy matter toinsert the fish wire but how io make asufficient opening for the conduit puzzledthe electrician until a chain was seen inthe tool-box. This was tied to the end of the fishline and worked back and forth byjogging it up and down against thel)laster until a large enough opening wasproduced to let in the conduit withoutany obstruction.— F.
