In thirty years of replacing wire for water heaters and pumps of all kinds, I’ve never seen a prettier waste of time.

The Britannia joint is a form of electrical joint used for bare overhead wires where great tensile strength is required. The two wires are each tinned, and then each have a short shoulder bent in them, and are then bound together with tinned wire before the whole is soldered.
