Does anyone know where I can veiw the 1968 NEC (on line), and at no cost. I am looking for the requirements for conduit supports.

NFPA.org has all NFPA books available for free if you sign up for the free membership. When I select the 1968 version though, it doesen't give me an option to view it like it does the others.

The oldest one I have in my office is 1984
 
Here, you can look at mine all you want. No charge.

Rather than looking at the code book [not likely you'll be able to view one online], why don't you tell us the type of conduit you need the information for and one of us [with a copy of the '68] can look that information up for you.
 
I have a 1959 NEC that my sister found while taking her newspapers to her local recycling center! I know that has nothing to do with the thread, but, dang it, I love that book!:grin: When I started taking Construction Electricity in HS, we were using the 1978. At some stupid point in my life, (divorce?, move? or whatever) I threw away my '78, '81, '84 (plus hardbound Handbook), '87, '90, and '93 NECs. Now I have from '96 to present. (plus my '59) I probably shouldn't put this out there until after I re-build my collection, but you can find old NECs on E-Bay for as little as $1 with no bids!:)

We had an old code book here at work, not sure exactly what year, but it was the '40's - sometime near the war years.

I should of asked if anyone cared if I took it. I just realized it got thrown out a couple of months ago when someone did some housecleaning. :-?

Until the bidding ends. Then the price goes up. Even the 70's and 80's still sell for 10-20 clams each.
