What kind of work was this?

Pardon my ignorance, I only know surveyors that use plumb bobs.

Probably carpentry

I never even considered this. I'm so used to carpenters using lasers now that I forgot plumb bobs were more popular.

I think he was using it to align a speaker so that the cable drop would be vertical to the hole where the cable came out. It was something like that, it was about 25 years ago so details as hazy.

Thanks for getting back to me.

I do a little cabling so the idea of using a plumb to align a cable drop sounds wild to me lol.

Then again I haven't been doing cableing very long so what the hell do I know.

Ha yeah honestly it's weird to me too but they were old boys and did a lot of odd things.
