desired. The non-conducting coverings so made may be wound in one or more
layers round or be otherwise attached to or on the pipe or other article to be
covered, and be secured thereon or thereto in any suitable manner.
Having now particularly described and ascertained- the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
1. A non-conducting covering for boilers, pipes and for other purposes, made of
hair, asbestos-fibre, or other pliable non-conducting material formed into a rope
