COPPER THE BEST KNOWN CON-
DUCTOR OF ELECTRICITY
HOW COPPER WIRE IS
MADE

Copper is a reddish, ductile, metal
lie element which has been known to
and used by the human race from
the most remote periods. Its alloy
with tin tbronze) was the first metal
lie compound in common use by man
kind, and so extensive and character
istic was it's employment in pre-
historic times that the epoch is
known as the Bronze Age.
This metallic element is found in
many parts of the world. In 1920
the United States produced over
100000 tons. 1t is found in Michigan
in great quantities as free element.
California, Arizona, Utah, and Mon
tana produce it, but in these states
it is in ore products.
Copper has been one of the great
mediums of civilization and is con-
stantly growing in Importance. In
ancient times pure copper was al
most exclusively used. Now it is
used as an alloy with many other
metals, giving it wide field of use
fulness.
The one big field, however where
pure copper is used is the electrical
industry, for it is used in almost
everything you touch electrically.
From the big generators and trans
formers at the power houses to the
transmission lines, secondary light
ing circuits and even the smaller
motor on your sewing machine, cop
per is a necessary factor.
For the transmission of electric
energy copper is the best known
conductor, and il is from the great
lines of copper reaching out from
the generating plants to the substa-
ton, and from the substation through
the network of distribution lines to
your home, to the factory, and to all
other places where electric energy is
used that makes it possible for US to
enjoy the benefits of the latent
power represented by our mountain
streams in the high Sierras. AS far
as science has yet gone, the electri-
cal development of today would have
been impossible had it not been for
copper.
You can hear over the transcon,
tinental telephone line between New
York and San Francisco as plainly as
you telephone across the street
your voice travelling 3,400 miles
through 740 tons of copper wire in
fifth of a second. How is copper
wire made?
