depending on whether 12, 16 or 28 conductors
were desired.
The use of a smaller number
of cables with more conductors per cable
would reduce congestion in the landing areas
and simplify both installation and maintenance.

jacket, rubber filled tape, No. 10 BW armor
and inner and outer jute serves similar to
those provided in the Type 115-P cable is
recommended.
Examination of several harbor
defense. cables laid on the exposed end of
Parry Island during the war indicates that
the thermoplastic jacket offers excellent
resistance to abrasion on the coral reefs, even
after partial disintegration of the armor, and
its continued use is reoommended.
