Hi all, I'm working on a couple older homes ('20s...1920's) and both have K & T wiring. I'm replacing light fixtures, and up in the old junction boxes are the two identical wires (no white or black), but one has an overhand knot it it. I expect this was the old-timer's way of indicating which was which. I'm wondering: is it "knot=hot", or "knot=neut.",?
Follow-up: does it actually matter, for an end-of-the-line fixture like a ceiling light?
Thanks!
