From the earliest year: of the telephone, the advantages of en- closing wires in cable were appre- ciated. but 2gniu,i,',',iit,tt' ad to be overcome ore a practical cable could be reduced. The method of "1',u','l'f,t of care- fully testing every poaaihle way in order to aelect only the best, and of continued effort to find something still better, was standard prettiee in the tele- phone industry as early as IMO. Since wires are crowded very closely together in cables, the first 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 rlosely to- gether along the wires to keep thin agar-t in the cable! Finally, in I†, from a queer inventor who had designed a urchin for wrap l aper aroun the wires , lash": connetat game the idea Megnbeys of the Mannheim - New Storm-proof telephone lines with all wires enclosed in cable are now being built across the con- tinent! T e first all-cable trans- continental route is Just being completed by the layin of cables underground from 8fdl"l, to Sacramento, California. The cables are buried by means of plough: drawn by powerful trac- tors. so that the ditch is dug, the cable laid, and the earth filled in at the same time.

For its flexibility, lead was the material chosen, but lend alone proved too soft to stand up under the stresses and strains of wind and temperature variations. Dur- lng the early part of the century, a mixture of lend and tin was employed. This alloy wore well, but it was expensive, so further research was undertaken. About I912. 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 has meant a saving of many millions of dol- urs-..-. saving which has helped to keep down the cost of tele- phone calls. At the present time, exhaustive upen'ments are being conducted in the use of a lead eattium alloy for the cable aheath. sdfgat2'g Juan? and In. Leu .
