THE ATLANTIC SUBMARINE TELE-
GRAPH..
The following letter has been addressed to the
edit)]. of the Times :
Sir,--We have just read in an article in VI
Times of this day headed " Atlantic Submarine
Telegraph" the following paragraph :
" We have already explained to our readers holt
the cable is coated with closely woven spiral wires,
to prevent damage to the core in paying out ; hirr4
in consequence of the two halves having been mat'
at different plaes—one at Birkenhead, b y Messrs..
Newall, and the other at Greenwich, by Glasse and
Elliot, a most egregious blunder has been c°111;
mined. It will scarcely.be credited, but is
thele!:S true, that th,e twist of the spiral wires of tba
Birkenhead half is in exactly the opposite directlyn
to the twist of the wires in the half made at Greet
wich. Thus, when joined in the centre of the Ad
lantic they will form a tight hand and a left it'o
screw, and the tendency of each will be to seelst
the other to untwist, and expose the core. BXBit•
taching a solid weight to the centre joining tt
hoped this difficulty and danger may be overcecr;
but none attempt to conceal. that the mistsirela's
much to be ieretted. We are informed tJoi
Messrs. Glasse and Elliot had nearly 100 tidiest
their portion of the cable completed before Mel;
Newall commenced theirs, and that then fore
fault rests with the firm which, began last.'
We rely on your sense of fairness to a 10 ".o.f
letter a corner in the Times to rebtri the cbarger
our haying committed a " most egregious blexte'i
1. The conclusion drawn by your correspor„j,
that we are in fault is certainly not warrant
Adthitt ng all the premises, how were we to 10
anything abJut Messrs. Glasse and Elliot's world
We have no entry to their
premises, and cos
know nothing of the lay of the cable they'
manufactured.
2. We took our contract from the Atlantic Toled,o
graph Company in December last, and we.ti)
supplied by their engineer with a specimen et!
cable to be made. We constructed new machi°b'
specially adapted for the manufacture of this e3'
of the same lay as the specimen supplied to us'
i
We began to manufacture the last week of .1:0
ruary, and when we I:vgan about 200 miles ,
bsen ma le at Greenwich. The engineer of t
company then found that the lay of the u',i,
at the two works was in reverse directions,
asked us to alter it in ours. We could not d°
without altering the machinery, which, as bef ,
said, had been specially prepared for the ligi,"„o
and this would have involved a delay of rmat
weeks, so that the engineer decided against
4
alteration. As it has turaed out it would ear' ,
ly have been better to have altered it, for,
though _we had not begun our half of the cable.t.
the Greenwich firm had completed about 20011,3
yet we had completed our part when they b 3
d 4l
wards of 150 miles still to do, so that the -e
have been ample time to make the necessary 3'lo°o
ations in the machinery without delay in the elf.
pletion of the cable. However, that was n° 3 t
of ours ; we were bound to complete the cahlao
a certain day under a penalty of 501. a-day',,,.
we did it ; and if the engineer expected the `it;
punctuality from the other contractors, We 0/1
he was right in not risking delay by alteratl
our machinery.
3. The specimen of the cable given to us for,11:1
guidance in the manufacture was not madel)J,i
but we believe it was made by Messrs. Glass
Elliott. At any rate, it is for the engineer
plain how it came to pass that different dire°
were given to the two contractors ; and perhss
gentleman who gave you the information OA
are in fault can throw some light on the subili
to how the specimen given to us happened t
a contrary lay to the cable manufactured at
wich.
