Wires are used to bear mechanical loads and to carry electricity and telecommunications signals. Standard sizes are determined by various wire gauges. The term wire is also used more loosely to refer to a bundle of such strands, as in 'multistranded wire', which is more correctly termed a cable. Wire has many uses. It forms the raw material of many important manufacturers, such as the wire-net industry, wire-cloth making and wire-rope spinning, in which it occupies a place analogous to a textile fibre. Wire-cloth of all degrees of strength and fineness of mesh is used for sifting and screening machinery, for draining paper pulp, for window screens, and for many other purposes. Vast quantities of aluminium, copper, nickel and steel wire are employed for telephone and data wires and cables, and as conductors in electric power transmission, and heating. It is in no less demand for fencing, and much is consumed in the construction of suspension bridges, and cages, etc. In the manufacture of stringed musical instruments and scientific instruments wire is again largely used. Among its other sources of consumption it is sufficient to mention pin and hair-pin making, the needle and fish-hook industries, nail, peg and rivet making, and carding machinery; indeed there are few industries into which it does not enter. Not all metals and metallic alloys possess the physical properties necessary to make useful wire. The metals must in the first place be ductile and strong in tension, the quality on which the utility of wire principally depends. The metals suitable for wire, possessing almost equal ductility, are platinum, silver, iron, copper, aluminium and gold; and it is only from these and certain of their alloys with other metals, principally brass and bronze, that wire is prepared. By careful treatment extremely thin wire can be produced. Special purpose wire is however made from other metals (e.g. tungsten wire for light bulb and vacuum tube filaments, because of its high melting temperature). 2) "Nuts" -- As to wire nuts 1nut Pronunciation: 'n&t Function: noun Etymology: Middle English nute, note, from Old English hnutu; akin to Old High German nuz nut and perhaps to Latin nux nut 1 a (1) : a hard-shelled dry fruit or seed with a separable rind or shell and interior kernel (2) : the kernel of a nut b : a dry indehiscent one-seeded fruit with a woody pericarp 2 a : a hard problem or undertaking b : CORE, HEART 3 : a perforated block usually of metal that has an internal screw thread and is used on a bolt or screw for tightening or holding something 4 : the ridge in a stringed instrument (as a violin) over which the strings pass on the upper end of the fingerboard 5 : a small lump (as of butter) 6 a : a foolish, eccentric, or crazy person b : ENTHUSIAST <a movie nut> 7 plural : NONSENSE -- often used interjectionally 8 slang : a person's head 9 usually vulgar : TESTIS 10 : the amount of money that must be earned in order to break even 11 : EN 1 - nut·like /-"lIk/ adjective Pronunciation Symbols Nuts may refer to: British and American slang for Insane Nuts (magazine), a British weekly men's magazine Nuts (film), a 1987 film by Martin Ritt Neils Unix Talk Server Nuclear Utilization Target Selection, counterpart to Mutual Assured Destruction Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics, a standard for referencing the administrative division of countries Norwegian University of Technology and Science New South Wales University Theatrical Society No U-Turn Syndrome "Nuts!", a disputed quote of General Anthony McAuliffe at the Battle of the Bulge British and American slang for testicles American slang for the highest possible hand in poker at that moment Nut ..."
