Default wiring

This appears to be from an older military aircraft, but there are lists
available. Two pretty good places to start are ATA Spec 2200 (which
includes ATA Spec 100) and AC 43.13 1B.


Except for the fact that neither 43.13.1B NOR 65-15 (the Airframe Handbook
from the trilogy General, Engine, and Airframe handbooks, each of them about
600 pages long) cover the SYSTEM to be used for marking.

I quote from page 385 of the Airframe handbook, "There is no standard
procedure for marking and identifying wiring; each manufacturer normally
develops his (sic) own identification code."

Seems to me that the homebuilt market can come up with a standard and a
method that we can all agree on, I'll publish it in Kitplanes, and then we
can simply refer the feller that asks the question a year from now to my
website, where that article will reside.

What's the big deal?

Yeah, that sounds good to me--I only presented the old system because
there seemed NOT to be a modern one---Your Karmick Konnector was a good
start--It would seem to be a good idea to standardize the naming of
various systems--I don't think much of the colors--they all fade after a
while--I was going to mention if you print your own, take the color
cartrige out of your printer--when black runs low--the damn things mix
RGB to make black and it FADES due to lack of carbon black in the ink!
