Admission 35c The March of Science DEVELOPMENT OF CABLE MAKES TELEPHIONF. LINES STORM -PROOF Storm -proof telephone lines with all wires enclosed in cable are now being built across the con- tinent! The first all -cable trans- continental route is just being completed by the laying of cables underground from Omaha to Sacramento, California. The cables are buried by means of ploughs drawn by powerfultrac- tors, so that the ditch is dug, the cable laid, and the earth filled in at the same time. Cables provide many more voice paths than open wire lines and also ensure protec- tion roteation from sleet -storms, worst enemy of telephone communica- tions. The development of cable pro- vides one of the outstanding ex- amples of the importance of re- search in the telephone industry. From the earliest years of the telephone, the advantages of en- closing wires in cable were appre- ciated, but many difficulties had to be overcome before a practical cable could be produced. The method of experiment, of care- fully testing every possible way in order to select only the best, and of continued effort to find something still better, was standard practice in the tele- phone '•iclustry as early as 1880. Since wires are crowded very closely together in cables, the fiittt important requirement was a good insulator to prevent voice currents from leaking over from one wire to another. One early cable experimenter used ordinary shirt buttons strung closely to- gether along the wires to keep them apart in the cable! Finally, in 1885, from a queer inventor who had designed a machine for wrapping paper around the wires in ladies' bonnets, came the idea that paper crushed loosely around the wires was the only insulation required. Paper insulation is used in all present-day cables, hut it 18 laid directly on the wire by dip- ping the latter in a bath of pulp. The next problem was the de- velopment of a suitable sheath. For its flexibility, lead was the material chosen, but lead alone proved too -soft to stand up under the stresses and strains of wind and temperature variations. Dur- ing the early part of the century, a mixture of lead and tin was employed. This alloy wore well, but it was expensive, so further research was undertaken. About 1912, it was discovered that the addition of a little antimony to lead gave the metal the required wearing qualities. It is estimated that the use of antimony instead of tin in cable sheaths ]las meant a saving of many millions of dol- lars—a saving which has helped to keep down the cost of tele- phone calls. At the present time, exhaustive experiments are being conducted in the use of a lead - calcium alloy forr the cable sheath, The first standa.rd types of cable contained no more than 50 pairs of wires, and "cost about $151 a circuit mile to manufae- turf. Gradually, through the use of smaller wires and improve- ments in design, more end more wires were packed into a lead sheath of approximately the same size and at the same tilne manu- facturing costs were progressive- ly reduced. The latest type of cable contains 2,121 pairs of wires and costs about $10 a cir•• cuit mile. The cable is no greater in circumference than the rim of an ordinary drinking glass. The ends of four of the 4,242 tiny wires jammed into this small space would be no larger than the head of a pin! LNo. 20 of aeries prepared by 11. G.
