Now and then, I come across electrical branch cables from about the 50's or early 60's that I have heard some electricians refer to as "ungrounded romex". It is cabling with only two wires (hot and neutral, no ground wire) encased with a cross-woven fabric material that is either green or tan in color. Basically, it was the transitional branch wiring that came after knob-and-tube wiring but before BX. The original wall switches are often of the old push-button type commonly associated with knob-and-tube wiring.
I wonder if this group can provide some learned input on this subject:
* What is the proper name for this stuff? There's gotta be something better to call it other than "ungrounded romex".
