- W4232275501 abstract "Mr. S. W. MELSOM, of the Cable Makers' Association, devoted the greater part of his chairman's address to the Transmission Section of the Institution of Electrical Engineers (J. Inst. Elect. Eng., 89, Pt. 1, No. 13 ; 1942) to the subject of cable engineering, first making brief reference to the development of solid plastic materials and proceeding to the question of their application to the manufacture of cables. The fierce light thrown on the older dielectrics by competition from the synthetics has revealed the extraordinarily high qualities of rubber and paper, and in the face of this experience new materials cannot be accepted without the fullest assurance of at least as good service with economic advantage. Although chemists have worked hard on the subject, their products have yet to be proved superior or even equal to vulcanized rubber, but doubtless the apparently parallel paths of the rubber and plastics chemists will ultimately be found to converge, with great benefit to Ifloth. The address then dealt briefly with very high voltage cables, research and the much discussed question of standardization, and it was closed with an outline of the standing and responsibilities of the engineer in relation to society, suggesting that it is time the engineer took his fair share in responsibility for the control of affairs, for otherwise the most lucrative profession would be that of reaper and not cultivator, a process which, if carried too far, will choke the life out of any industry or nation permitting it." @default.
