Fig. 16 illustrates the method of laying this con-duit, and shows how the joints should be broken in thevarious layers so as to insure a maximum lateral strengthto the structure. All conduits should be laid to such grades that there willbe no low points or traps in the conduit that will not draininto the manholes. MAOTOLES. 19. Manlioles form a very important part in cable sys-tems and require careful designing to properly adapt themto the particular conditions to be met. They are usual
