Default CONNECTONS, Screened, 5-1/2 inch ZA/CAN 4681

This interesting little component also came off the chassis today.

The total length of the plated copper tube is 5-1/2 inches. Its mounting cleat is soldered in place and is fastened directly to the chassis, holding the smaller Tag Panel covered earlier, in the process - the 5-Tag in Post #608.

1-1/2 inches of the #20 tinned, solid, copper wire extends from each end of the tube. It is suspended in the centre of the tube at each end by means of a small, white, ceramic ‘Fish Bead’, with a small ball of solder on the wire at each end to lock everything in place. The curved end at the top connects to Pin 4 of the Mixer Valve V1C and is covered by another blue sleeve of the type described by Chris.

The lead at the bottom end is also covered by a blue sleeve and connects to a STRIPS, Tag, 1-Way ZA/CAN 4664, the other end of which connects with L16A, the 1st IF Transformer.

What intrigues me about this item is how they managed to keep the bare wire from making contact with the sides of the tube, through the curved section.
