Electrician, and free access to the works is to be given to the Engineer or his represen- tative, and also every facility for testing and examining the Cable and materials.
The Cable shall be shipped from the Contractors' works direct into the tanks of the ship. It shall receive at the same time a thorough coating of chalk and water.
The vessel on which the Cable is shipped for transport shall not leave her moorings until the Cable has been tested from the shore by the Engineer or his representative to his satisfaction, and ample time shall be allowed after the completion of the shipment for this purpose.
During the transport the Cable shall as far as practicable be kept under water, and tested each day by the Contractors' Electricians, and a complete copy of the tests shall be supplied to the Engineer.
No damaged Cable shall be laid, and the Engineer shau be entitled to refuse to allow any portion of the Cable to be laid which in his opinion is damaged and unfit for use.
The electrical condition of every portion of the Cable when manufactured and of the entire Cable when shipped, and also of the completed Cable when laid, shall be such as having regard to its previous condition, and making due allowance for the mean actual temperature of the water, as shown by the resistance of the Conductor, to give no good grounds for believing that any fault exists in the Insulator or Conductor.
H. A. TAYLOR,
