I lived in a house back in the late 70s that had that type of wiring. I came home from work one windy day to a fully engulfed fire. Aahhhh, the memories.

Many houses I have remodeled I have wondered why I wasn't standing in a pile of ashes. People have tied into that stuff and overloaded the hell out of the 4 round glass fuses that was that system. They don't tie in correctly and leave bare connections under cellulose insulation....amazing!
