[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 485652, member: 1408"] 210 cable . I was thinking , about time to pack up :C One or two odd terms do turn up occasionally , I went to a firm in the '70s and noticed that "KoBo ", s were often referred to . It was their name for Knockout Boxes. They had the old idea of a stores & storeman at the office which had to be navigated with care . Before the days of Starrett cutters we all used the dreaded Enox cutters , a body with two tiny screws holding a circular , hardened ,3/4 in. hacksaw blade . The centre mandrill needed a separate 1/4" drill . I asked for a 1/4" drill and half a dozen Eclipse hacksaw blades . I was given a 5/16" drill , which won't fit and one (1) 10" hacksaw blade , flexible , unbreakable, manufacturer DingDong :C I was put right by an older hand , he said the store guy says if you ask for a 1/4" drill you will get a 1/4" clearance drill which is 5/16" , he knows it won't fit the Enox . And they will only give you one hacksaw blade at a time and its 10" unless you tell him its for cutting 6" trunking . Storemen were like that . :C [/QUOTE]
