For many purposes paper, next TO wire. Is an

nends for It's insulation electrically on thin spra is
of paper around each stranded Interior wire The
LAYING OF such a cable In such place might few
wears ago have been considered little short OF
suicidal but experience has demonstrated the per-
feet practiclbilty Of the scheme.
In considering the laying of such cables In such
situations. the fact H. important that lO0-pair

cable would probably cost not less than 50 per foot
