That bend is too neat to be done with former or bender surely

its so old, it would have been done on a wooden forming block, they used to have a range of wooden formers for bending conduit over back in the 1930's before steel conduit benders, you could get virtually any shape you wanted and very neat curves.

Still quite a lot of steel conduit done today but they like to keep the drops is straight as possible and the modern galv conduit unless you pay good money is crap! The CEF stuff was that thin it was kinking in the bender a few years back

I used to have an old book and it showed you how to make all sorts of stuff like bends like this out of MICC!

No way, what ever happened to the book?
