In 1991 one of the electrical tape manufacturers released clear as a colour. It didn't last long and probably for good reason. At a glance it was not possible to tell from a glance that a connection was insulated. I was on a job (a foreign order across the road from where I was serving my apprenticeship) and applying clear electrical tape over line clamps and the 'Conno' (industry slang for connecting officer) from the Sydney County Council wanted to know why I was insulating a joint with sellotape and I said I wasn't, it was clear electrical tape. Upon closer inspection he agreed, though I don't think he liked the idea. The clear colour was short-lived, probably because it created a lot of similar confusion. If anyone remembers Nev Hooke's garage in Gladesville, that's where the job was. The place is still standing but I don't think Nev is now. ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ A valve a day keeps the transistor away...
