Abstract:
1. A method for labeling armored electrical cable between an armoring station for said cable and a takeup reel for storage of said cable, the cable having an outermost sheath with convolutions defining alternating peaks and valleys, the method comprising the steps of: applying, using a machine, a plurality of separate labels having a label substrate with an attaching side and an opposed indicia side, to the outermost sheath of the armored electrical cable such that the attaching side contacts the outermost sheath, each separate label being applied circumferentially to said cable at spaced apart points on said cable while said cable traverses between said armoring station and said takeup reel, the labels being applied to contact the outermost sheath for substantially the entirety of the label and to cover at least one peak of the convolutions of the outermost sheath.
