z We hear that a Partisan metallurgi-
sesf engineer claims to have perfected
III UA,cess Of welding copper to steel
wire 10 as to make a noncorrosiye coat
ing. Many advantages, 1t is said, will
result from the use of this new wire,
such as high tensile strength and elias
ticity, combined with smaller surface
exposed to wind and sleet than would
be; the case with iron wire of the same
conductiyity. This wire Is especially
useful over long spans, as pole intervals
may be much greater when 1t Is used.
