When I was in the Army in 1958 to 1960, the field commo wire was WD1/TT.
This was a twisted pair of steel and copper stranded insulated wire. It had no
jacket
over the twisted pair. The official way to splice it was with a square-knot and
twist the loose ends
after the end of the knot. Then wrap each splice with electrical tape.
We ran many mile of this wire and had to pick it up when the Group moved
position. Our Commo Sgt
said that this is the worse job in the Army in WarTtime. Almost nobody doing
this came back vertical.
