Abstract
THE eighth report of the Central Council for the Care of Churches includes a timely memorandum for the guidance of parochial authorities about to install new lighting apparatus, and a series of regulations to be observed by contractors. In a preface to the regulations is a statement that the work must comply with the regulations of the Institution of Electrical Engineers. Cables must be rubber- or paper-insulated and must be run in heavy-gauge solid-drawn galvanized-welded screw conduit (preferably) or in heavy-gauge welded screw conduit. Alternatively, ‘Pyrotenax’ may be employed. Attention is directed to a modification of an electric soldering iron for heating sealing compound, which enables joints to be made on the spot instead of entailing removals to a bench for heating with a blow lamp, in order to avoid risk of fire where timber is adjacent.
