Subject: [CR]ribbed cable housing

Yesterday a customer asked if I had any of the old ribbed cable housing. He didn't particularly care about the colors long as it was ribbed.

I remember the ribbed housing very well, as I bought it as early as the mid 1950's. It was unlined, fairly flexible, and came in LOTS of different colors.

I seem to remember that it came supplied on smaller metal reels.

Can anyone remember the name/manufacturer of the housing. Try as I might, I cannot seem to remember the name.

TIA
