As it was a long time ago Gamma radiation was used to kill the static on the pinch rolls, Cobalt 60 source was fixed to a holder above the film (my intro to radioisotopes!) it does work but its dangerous, i thought i would end up sterile!, 3 kids later it didn't work!
They then stuck me on a bag making machine, 6 million bags a shift, all packed into boxes, i didnt stay long after!

Are the strands enameled? It might be magnet wire scrapped out of a motor or disk drive or whatever. It's the kind of stuff I deal with daily at work except we make it more orderly. Looks like it was twisted up by hand.Weston Bye - Author, The Mechatronist column, Digital Machinist magazine

However, Allan's photo looks like magnet wire, like maybe from an ironless rotor DC motor, maybe taken apart by a kid.Weston Bye - Author, The Mechatronist column, Digital Machinist magazine
