[Also in Group XXII] The stranded copper core of an unused underground cable length is removed by freeing both ends of the length and applying tension and torsion to the core, or part thereof, to withdraw it from the cable. The inner portion 5 of the core may be withdrawn from the outer portion 4 by tension only. One end of the core 1 may be uncovered and the ends of the outer copper layer 4 turned back to enable the inner strands 5 to be gripped and withdrawn. The removal may be assisted by the introduction of a lubricant into the cable. The outer strands 4 are then collected together and withdrawn. The insulation 3 may be removed by cutting, scraping or brushing. The lead sheath may then be longitudinally slit into strips by means of a cutting tool which is drawn therethrough. The tool comprises three cutting discs 17 carried by arms 18 pivoted at 19 to body 20. The arms may be splayed to produce the required depth of cut by an adjustable abutment piece 22. A rope is then drawn through the sheath and attached to an end of one lead strip, which is then bent inwardly and drawn back through the sheath to the other end. The remaining lead strips are then similarly withdrawn.

Title: Organo-oxymethyl- and organo- aminomethyl-substituted siloxanes
IPC: C08G77/08
Filed: 1962-06-27
Abstract: A lubricating and corrosion-inhibiting organo-polysiloxane of the general formula <FORM:0956222/C3/1> wherein n is a number between 1 and 3, at least one R is a (polyamino)-methyl radical and at least one R is a radical of the formula R1OCH2- in which R1O denotes a hydroxypolyalkylene oxide or alkoxypolyalkylene oxide chain, while all the other radicals R are monovalent hydrocarbon radicals, may be made by reacting a siloxane of the above general formula, but wherein at least two R radicals are bromomethyl radicals, firstly at a temperature above 50 DEG C. with a polyglycol ether and a tertiary nitrogen base, so that for every gram atom of bromine there is used less than one gram equivalent of OH groups in the form of the glycolether, and the course of the reaction is so controlled that the amount of the base added is, at any time, at most equivalent to the amount of the hydroxyl compound added, and, after filtering off the precipitated bromine salt, the reaction product of the first step present in the filtrate is reacted with a polyamine in an amount of at least 2 mols. for every gram atom of bromine remaining in the first-step reaction product, and the precipitated bromine salt of the polyamine is removed to yield the desired siloxane.  The reaction is preferably effected in a solvent, e.g. o-xylene.  In a typical example (1) a mixture of o-xylene, a siloxane of the formula: <FORM:0956222/C3/2> mono-n-butylether of a polyalkyleneglycol (equal parts of ethylene and propylene oxides) and pyridine, was refluxed for 2 hours, boiled for a further 3 hours, and filtered; the filtrate was then stirred with diethylenetriamine, and freed of precipitated bromine salt and solvent to yield a water-soluble, highly-viscous oil.  Uses: in aqueous emulsion or solution as lubricants in metal working, as drilling and cutting oils.
