Captured Japanese Cable
Abstract
Twelve samples of cable were prepared for examination as shown in the photographs of Plate 1 and 2. The construction of each cable type was determined by dissection, and cross-sectional diagrams were drawn for each type. Simple chemical tests were used to identify some of the materials. There are only two samples of high frequency line (Samples, 5 and 6). Sample no 5 is of interest because three round holes have been extruded from the solid dielectric to lower the capacitance of the cable. Sample No. 6 is an r-f shielded balanced line used to carry 50 watts c.w. at 67 Mc. The other samples are various kinds of power cable whose several uses are mentioned in the following discussion.
