cobalt, used in the manufacture
of submarine cables, now speeds
up the service five times. This
means that five times as many
words can be sent per minute
and that. therefore, the volume Of
business transmitted can be five
fold. This magnetic permalloy is,
under certain conditions, 300 times
as magnetic as the best known
soft iron.
