A Chart of Equivalent Cross-Sections of Wire. The table Brown and Sharpe's Gauges.
Table shows wire gauge vs wire size, a quick way to tell the physical size of different wire sizes.
Back to AWG wire gauge for current capacities.
Of course the table provides a way to estimate cable size vs number of wires.

Brown and Sharpe is the old name for the American Wire Gauge standard.
In fact for a while the Brown and Sharpe wire table was called the American Wire Gauge standard.
However after noting that it was not yet recognized as a standard Brown and Sharpe changed the name to AWG.
Determine cable gauge vs. physical size. Determine cable length vs. Size increase.

Technical Key words: American Wire Gage, AWG, Bare copper wire, Ampacity, Reference, Brown and Sharpe (B&S),
Electrical Wire Sizing, Cable, Wiring, Heating, Electrical Code, Length, NEC, National Electrical Code.
