Tinned Staples for Bell-Circuit Wiring
The Strip is Cut into Squares Which are Folded and Driven into the Support, Binding the Wire
Inexpensive and practical staples for binding wires used in bell circuits, or for similar purposes, may be made from a strip of tinned sheet metal, about ¹⁄₂ in. wide. The strip is cut on the sides, as indicated in the sketch, and the squares are broken off as needed. They may be bent quickly to the shape shown, and are used by placing them over the wire and driving the points into the wall or other support. If properly made, they will not injure the covering of the wire and are more satisfactory than wire staples.
