 gave him my experience of lines through which wire was passed. 

 That experience was solely with reference to wire spirally twisted. 

 An American line I have in especial remembrance at this 

 moment green, with bronze spiral wire which was a fraud from 

 beginning to end. My experience of the lines with a wire centre 

 is quite another thing, and it is confined to the ' Acme ' of Messrs. 

 D. & W. H. Foster. On receiving sample lengths in their trade 

 circular I put the ends under a strong magnifying glass, and they
