What does loomex cable mean?

Protecting Knob & Tube wires entering a panel, sleeves called "Loom Duct" were used to protect the conductors and held in place with a "Loom Clip". When Knob and Tube wiring was phased out in the late 30's a multi conductor cable was introduced. This cable had paper around each conductor and then enclosed in Loom duct. This new cable was called "Loomex".
