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!
