I read in sci.electronics.design that Albert wrote (in
) about 'wire size
question', on Thu, 7 Apr 2005:

Does anyone know how to measure or determine the wire size.

Use a micrometer or a vernier slide gauge to measure the diameter.
Assuming that your wire is enamelled, 24 AWG is 0.022 inch (maybe +/-
0.002) diameter and 30 AWG is 0.011 inch diameter.
