Abstract :
W. Stanwix-Hay (General Electric Company, Bridgeport, Conn.): There are a number of items in this paper that are of interest to the electrical engineer engaged in the manufacture of power cables for airplanes, particularly at this time when we are at war. Because of this war, we are faced with the very practical problem of producing millions of feet per week of cable that is urgently needed by the Armed Forces and aircraft manufacturers. Because of this urgent demand, we must confine ourselves to practical insulation that can be applied at high speed, in large quantities, and with a minimum of defects in the manufacturing cycle and in the completed cable.
