THE GREAT CABLE FOR THE TELEGRAPH
BETWEEN ENGLAND AND FRANCE.
Yesterday the great cable, twenty-four miles long,
and destined, when sunk between Dover and Calais,
to form the key for electric communication and cor-
respondence between this country and the European
continent, wet completed at the works of the Subma-
rine Telegraph Company, Wrapping, the last coil
being securely circumflexed at about four o'clock.
The occasion furnished an interesting opportunity for
observing the rather novel and noticeable processes
employed in the fabrication of this newly devised
agency for international communication as worked
out through the medium of gutta percha and the wire
rope machine. Entering the factory, situated in the
High-street, and which, though a pandemonium of
tar, and smoke and steam, has been visited by a
number of distinguished individuals, there are two
well- constructed wire-rope inachinee, each about 20
feet high and 15 in circumference, representing a
large iron framework in the form of a cupola, with a
shaft or cylinder in the centre, worked by a steam-
engine of fire horse power. Obedient to the ringing
of a bell, a concourse of workmen from the wire-rope
works of Messrs. Newell, at Gateshead, took their
places round one of the machines employed
in the first process. The machine, the action
of which is vertical, being set in motion by
the steam-engine, the first, or interior portion
of which the composite cable consists, was payed out
on to the shaft. This first layer is composed of four
electric copper wires, known as the 16-wire gauge,
each encased in a covering of gutta percha of a
quarter of an inch in diameter. These, placed in the
machine, and with the assistance of the manipulators,
are twisted and plaited in spiral convolutions in the
manner of an ordinary rope or cable round the shaft.
The next superincumbent coil to this consisted of
hempen yarn previously saturated in a reservoir of
prepared pitch and tallow, and in its turn is tight
twisted and compressed, impermeably and by steam
power, over the gutta percha, with its enclosed cop-
per wires. This is overlaid again with a series of
hempen yarns, five or six in number, and about an
inch in diameter, saturated in the pitch and tallow, with
the view of what the workmen call " worming" the
gutta percha. The gutta percha thus protects the
delicate wire, and the hempen yarn in addition acts
as a cementitious material to the more perishable
gutta percha, which ultimately has thrown over it a
coat of mail of galvanised wire. This completes the
first process, and the manufacture of the rope in
the spiral form is for the purpose of giving fl-xihi-
lity. The second proces, consists in hauling off the
cable so far completed, and passing it, in another
compartment of the factory, on to another wire rope
machine, where the curd i, completed, covered over
with ten galvanised iron wires, each wire being ii oat
the thickness of a Lad p-ncii, and known as No. 1
galvanised wire gauge. This galvanised iron sheath-
ing is to protect and pressrve the interior layers from
the action of the sea, and the weight is con•idered to
be sufficient to sink the cable ex necessitate gravitatis.
Th • appearance of the cable thus completely encased
in a shining coat of galvanised iron, and divested of
tar and dirt. gives it claire a silvery eppei ranee. The
coil thus completed is drawn off the machine and
draughted out by the men, as sailors haul rope, into
the factory yard, where it now remains rolled up into
a circle, some five feet in height and twenty feet in
circumference, representing a dead weight of 200
tons. In order to test its completeness Mr. C. J.
Wollaston, the engineer who conducted the experi-
ments last year, and who, in conjunction with Mr.
T. R. Crampton, has the carrying out of the engineer-
ing arrangements, fired a fusee, through the 24 miles of
electric cable, from one of the batteries in the building.
A steamer has been placed at the disposal of the pro-
moters of the undertaking by her Majesty's Govern-
ment to convey the cable to Dover. The gutta
percha wires have been prepared by the Gutta Percha
Company in the most perfect style of insulation, and
the whole of the one hundred miles of intended com-
munication represented by the four wires of twenty-
four miles each, have been tested and their integrity
been found true by Mr. Wollaston, in the Regent's-
canal. The manufacture of the cable has now been
in hand three weeks, the men working night and
day ; and it is hoped and expected that the contriv-
ance will accomplish an answerable end.
Few persons are aware of the international value
and commercial advantage of completing this last link,
the want of which at present detaches disadvanta-
geously this country from so many of her European
allies, and her own important possessions and depen-
dencies, and probably this could not receive stronger
illustration than is contained in the representation of
the fact, that when the sub-marine telegraph over the
English channel is a thing accomplished, there will
be uninterrupted telegraphic communication between
Englund and and all the following principal cities and
towns of the European Continent to which the tele-
graph is now completed :—Calais, Paris, Lille, Brus-
sels, Antwerp, Ostend, Liege, Cologne, Hanover,
Brunswick, Berlin, Frankfort, Liepzic, Dresden,
Prague, Breslau, Stettin, Cracrow, Vienna, (Trieste,
1,450 miles departure port for India), Vienna, Milan,
and by the end of the month to Turin and Genoa.
