In future operations of this nature where time _

submarine type insulation, and the insuleted
conductors laid up as "spiral-four quads.”
The use of rubber instead of thermoplastic

struction would largely eliminate crosstalk
or crossfire between conductors.
Three, four,
or seven quad cable could be laid up economically,
