19 April 1948
Serial: 0018
Subject:
Report of Submarine Cable Operations. (con't)
close to the fault.
If it was found imprac-
tical to take in cable from the point where
the cable wes lifted to the fault, the cable
was cut and tested in both directions and the
good end was buoyed.
The cable was lifted
again in a similar manner on the other side
of the fault and a new section of cable spliced
in between the two points.
This obviated the
necessity of raising more than a short length
of cable.
Where mltiple faults occur or
loss of shore ends prevents placing a tone
on the cable it is quite conceivable that repairs will be impractical and complete or par-
‘tiel replacement necessary.
