This was followed by the coupling up of continents and Islands by sub- marine cables which were mostly

Cables for Light and Power Purposts
To-day the bulk of cables used for light and power purposes: come under the following heads: -(1) Cables insulated with India Rubber, - (2) Cables In- sulated with
paper impregnat-
ed with oils;" this latter group, may be sub-divided into low tension cables. high tension cables and extra high tension ca- bles. (1) Cables insulated with india rubber. In the early days of the heavy current electric era. these were the only cables gener- ally applicable, both for under- ground use" and for the internal wiring of buildings. It i true that they were expensive, as the price of India rubber was high, and this led to the endeavour particularly in America to sub- stitute cheaper materials, not- ably braidings wrappings of cotton

Where; however, as in most cases damp has to be combased, the practice is to cover the pure rub- ber with a further layer of vul- canizing rubber and to vulcanize" the whole at a temperature of 285-300 F. In addition to the rubber in withstanding moisture, advantage of vulcanized-india

Whilst this was very successful and remained in use for over 30 years, It is clear that something more flexible was In 1845 needed for general use. Professor Charles Wheatston had patented the method of covering an insulated conductor with a lead tube and this idea was revived successfully by Boril in France in the early eighties, using insulat ing waxes, and the impregnated paper became a success when the paper WES applied in strips | about 1 in wide and was cover- ed with lead.
