Mr. C. L. Varley, the electrician, had also addressed
fresh communication TO the company, showing the inn
prcvemens that have recently taken place the insua-
ton Of cables and the conducting power of copper Mr.
varey says:The cost Of working cable across the At
lanc with large core whose speed twelve words per
minute will be greater than that of working smaller
core OF only two words per minute The larger
core giving twelve words per minute will cost but little
moro for the external covering and submersion
than the smaller giving but two
words per minute. 1850 900 will make and lay
weighing nnetythree pounds TO the mile; s700 900 viii
make and lay cable with conductor OF Ave hundred
and sixty pounds TO the mile. Hence there would be
manifest economy in using cable whose speed Of
mission is pretty rapid:-To go beyond the speed OF
twelve words minute would not be attended with
corresponding economy, because the operators cannot
work With so much efficiency at higher speeds The
Atlantic Telegraph Company would have but two stations
in distance Of nearly two thousand miles, and could
the services OF the skilled operators be found
together With the most improved instrument which
science can productive very important items in the
commercial success OF the undertaking
The English government had ordered to be menufactur
ed, soon as possible, thousand two hundred
miles OF submarine cable TO be used in completing the
telegraphic communication between England and India
