As I remember it from an electrician that married a 2nd time to my Aunt. hi.
The ground lost its connection and the coiled wrapper became hot like a "hot
plate" carrying the current.I was about 10 years old then and just wondering
how a radio worked.

I installed a vanity in a old house in New London, CT. The BX only had
2 wires for the original light & 2-prong outlet. Fortunately the jacket
was grounded although it had never been connected to the old fixture. I
needed the ground for the new GFI outlet.

BX cable is still required in New York City. I had to use it when I lived in
Queens.
How did the metal wrapper get hot? Was current passing througgh it? The BX I
had included a ground wire; maybe the earlier BX used the wrapper as the ground.

Live near a housing development with many tenants. The high line on the road is
about 20 feet diagonally from my attic. Getting a lot of noise even with my
house main breaker off.
Appears to be induced into the attic wiring.
Question. Anyone tried some form "twisted pair with green wire"
