In order to get its feeder cables across the Pequon-. DOWN INTO WEST END OF PIPE. SHOWINGCABLES MOUNTED ON INSULATORS nock River at Bridgeport the Connecticut Company in1906 laid down this 36-in. pipe, as shown in an accom-panying illustration. At that time nine 750, lead-covered cables were installed, just laying themin the pipe. In 1913 eight 1,000, cables wereadded, and at that time, in order to arrange the cablesmore satisfactorily in the pipe, they were placed oninsulating brackets, as shown in another accompanyingillustration. The third illustration shows a view look-ing down into the top of the 45-deg. section of pipeon the west side of the river. It was found a few months ago that the inside of thepipe was corroding badly and it was decided to paint account of the fact that it was desired to have thecables remain insulated from the pipe itself it wasnecessary to use an insulating paint.
