I always heard it as "knob and tube" wiring, and my house is full of
it... (Victorian house, built 1883. electrified 1910)
but perhaps I am wrong...

   Where I grew up in Missouri (ca 1930+) it was called "knob and 
cleat" but the tubes were used too of course.  Last house I lived in 
there was built in 1908 and had both "electric wires" and 1/8" gas 
pipe in the ceiling and wall light outlets - guess they had a hard 
time making up their mind.  Funny thing is that the town was 
electrified long before that.
