[SML] Wire junction

[Richard Niederberg]

Many years ago, I worked on the New Years Rockin' Eve at the Coconut Grove
in Los Angeles. We had to pull 1000s of feet of 4/0 thru the ceiling for
the lighting. The Sister Lugs on the ends of the cables tore at everything
in their path. The Building is now a School.
