NASA guide to wiring

[Alan Douglas]

I still like the look of a wire harness, and would occasionally do it for an instrument I was building. But you couldn't give me waxed cord. On teflon wire (which was all we used) that's like chasing a greased pig. I always used flat rubberized nylon lacing tape. I do have linen cord here at home for when I need to match something I'm restoring.

I just paged through that document. Looks like normal practice where I worked (except it was self-inspected).
