  • Abstract
    Previous to the last two years, development of weather resistant covering for line wires lay in the hands of the manufacturer and was centered upon meeting the demand for a cheaper product. This resulted in a decreasing life of the covering. Research described in this article points the way to a greatly improved covering which, although slightly more expensive to produce, can be justified economically by its longer life and higher insulating quality. Specifications for the saturant of such a covering are presented herewith.
