    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knob-and-tube_wiring

    By wrapping electrical wires around the knob, and securing them with tie wires, the knob could be used to securely and permanently anchor the wire. The knobs separated the wire from potentially combustible framework, facilitated changes in direction, and ensured that wires were not subject to excessive tension.

[1]Made of a narrow band of spring steel, by careful manipulation, the tape can be guided through confined spaces such as wall cavities or conduits in many countries.

  6. Time-domain reflectometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-domain_reflectometer

    The electrical impedance at any point along a coaxial cable changes with deformation of the insulator between the conductors. A brittle grout surrounds the cable to translate earth movement into an abrupt cable deformation that shows up as a detectable peak in the reflectance trace.

  7. Electrical outlet tester - Wikipedia
