Thermal life of enameled magnet wire

In the summer of 1953, a Working Group on Thermal Stability of Insulating Materials was organized under the sponsorship of the AIEE Subcommittee on Electrical Insulation (formerly the Dielectrics Committee) of the Basic Sciences Committee. In January 1954 a task force on the Evaluation of the Thermal Stability of Enameled Magnet Wire was appointed and it was given the responsibility of developing a test procedure.
