[Healeys] Wiring - reformatted

[Bob Spidell]

I think it's probably assumed in this discussion but, generally, we're talking about stranded wires and not solid, right?

Electricity conducts primarily on the outer surface of a wire.  Since stranded wires have greater total cross section 
and hence more surface area than an equivalent sized solid wire they will conduct better.  Plus, of course, it's more 
flexible and easier to solder or crimp.
