particular circumstances. The clips are supplied various sizes hold the cable firmly, and
the fixing nail hardened masonry nail. They may made on-site the electri-
cian or, many brackets are required, the electrical contractor may make
a working sketch with dimensions and have the items manufactured a
blacksmith metal fabricator.36

Bracket supports
Conduit and trunking may fixed directly surface such brick wall
or concrete ceiling, but where cable runs are across girders other steel
framework, spring steel clips may used but support brackets clips
often require manufacturing.35
