A high power sub-marine cable weighs from 20 to 25 lb. per foot and whenit is being laid in water 50 to 100 ft. deep from a vesselsubjected to swells and wave action the strains that must September 2 7, 1916V o 1. X L V I. N o. 1 3 be withstood by the cable are very great. To strengthenthe cable to meet this strain it is spirally wound withsteel wires which relieve the lead sheath, the insulationand the conductor wire from damaging pulls. To jointhis wire sheathing when splices are necessary withoutforming a weak place in the wire wrapping is a task ofimportance and the accompanying illustrations show themethod of performing this task by the engineers of theGreat Western Power Co., San Francisco, Cal., in layinga 22,000-volt submarine cable across San Francisco illustrations indicate the several steps in 1 shows
