That's what I thought too. But when I wanted that
38swg enamelled copper
wire to rewind the motors I mentioend, Maplin were the only place that
Should note in this and earlier discussion that at the smaller diameters there
is a substantial difference between the AWG / SWG sizes. AWG (American Wire
Gauge) is much finer for a given # than SWG (Imperial Standard), e.g.:
# SWG AWG
38 0.0060 0.0040
