[Electric engineering.] . Pig. 1. Fig. 1 shows a gas pipe that was melted by an arc causedby a heavy current-carrying circuit crossing a signal cir-cuit that was connected to the pipe. The connection to thepipe was poor and Fig. 2. Fig. 2 shows joints made with No. 10 wire on a circuitdesigned to carry 200 amperes. The use of such a poor joint gave rise to heating thatresulted in the burning out of thewire.
