Line 1:
'''[[Great Britain|British]] Standard Wire Gauge''' is a set of wire sizes given by BS 3737:1964, and is generally abbreviated to SWG. Use of SWG sizes has fallen greatly in popularity, but is still in use. Cross sectional area in square millimetres is now a more popular size measurement.
 
SWG originated in 1883 after much argument in the industry.
