A. 0 1 a o 0 ROCKBESTOS is the name for a wide line of wires, cables and cords, including more than 125 different standard constructions, which have been designed and developed to give long and depend able sendee under severe operating conditions. Early in 1918 a small group of Rockbestos Elec trical Engineers and Chemists perfected a method of applying asbestos to wires and cables as a heat resisting electrical insulation. This first step result ed in the production of wire that industry and elec trical engineers had been looking for. Here was an insulated conductor resistant to high tempera tures, aging, corrosive fumes, grease, oil and flame. Success from the start--and just the beginning for this company which was later to distinguish itself to be the only company in industry devoted ex clusively to the manufacture of permanently insu lated wires and cables. Rockbestos grew along with the then rapidly growing electrical industry, solv ing its electrical insulation problems as they became apparent with this unique mineral, ASBESTOS. Other materials are often combined resins with as bestos, i.e. Varnished cambric, Synthetics, DuPont "Teflon" Tetrafiuoroethylene resin, cotton, rayon, nylon and glass, to provide special characteristics. Two brotd lines of permanently insulated wires, cables and cords--Rockbestos A.V.C. asbestos-var nished cambric insulated (N.E.C. Types AVA and AVB) and Rockbestos ALL-Asbestos (NC. Types A, AA, AI, AIA and AF)--have been de veloped for innumerable industrial applications. Rockbestos engineering and research are constantly abreast of electrical problems in both science and industry, providing answers through the develop ment of trouble-free, ageless electrical insulations designed for each specific application. May we offer you our research facilities for the development of special wires designed to meet any unusual re quirements. 1 RBB 01235 Asbestos--out Baste Raw Material Why Rockbestos A.V.C. was Developed Approved Uses for Rockbescos Constructions Typical and Specific Applications for Rockbestos A.V.C.

Asbestos is a mineral, consequently inorganic in its na ture, and in this principal feature different from all other types of material in use for insulating wires and cables. Asbestos fibres are solid, that is to say they have no cap illary opening through their center like cotton, wool or other organic fibres. Because of this fact, there is no ten dency for individual asbestos fibres to act as capillaries if their ends are exposed, and ic only becomes necessary to fill the voids of inrerstices between the fibres to pro duce a relatively impervious layer. Asbestos has demonstrated its ability to withstand time without the deterioration that occurs in other forms of electrical insulating materials such as rubber and the gen eral class of organic fibres. Furthermore, it will not rot or carbonize under any conditions. It may be fairly stated indeed that asbesros is ageless, and time, as every engi neer well knows, is a much more exacting test of a material than almost any laboratory accelerated life test which can be made. During the centuries since the as bestos was formed, it has been exposed to high earth temperatures and, as earth cooled, to moisrure and the wide variety of earth acids and alkalis, all with no apparent change in any of its properties. We have investigated the world's sources of asbestos to find and secure the softest, silkiest, purest, long fibred asbestos - . . and we find it in certain deposits of Chrysotile (Serpentine Group)--the aristocrat of the asbestos family. Chrysotiie is a hydrated magnesium silicate which occurs in crystalline form in veins or striations in the mother rock and is widely distributed. Each crystal is a "fibre", square in cross section, having a diameter of about I/JOO, 000 inch and a length equal to the width of the vein. There are a number of sources of Chrysotiie fibre, the principal ones being Rhodesia, Canada, Russia, Arizona and Australia. The largest deposits ate in Rhodesia and Canada. Asbestos retains its srrength and fibrous form under all conditions excepc extremely high temperatures. Chryso tiie asbestos in crude (unopened form) begins to lose some of its water crystallization at abour -t50C and is almost completely dehydrated at 850C. It fuses at abour 1500C. When .applied to wires or cables in felted form, its low heat conductivity enables it to withstand melting the copper conductor by passage of high currents without material loss of its mechanical strength. Tests of fabrics woven of Chrysocile asbestos show that after thtee hours at 500C they still have cneir original tensile strength. Asbestos, after it is mined, is broken up, fiberized and deaned. It is then combed and carded into soft, fluffy roving. In this form it is applied to the conductor, impregnated with neutral insulating compounds, and compressed into the felted wall which is Rockbestos insulation that is not only fireproof but practically impervious to the destruc tion normally caused fay heat and moisture, oil, grease, corrosive fumes or age. What a material to use where endurance and resistance to deterioration ate so important! Hard as a rock in the vein, asbestos is soft as siik when fiberized. Sack silky fiber is a crystal t '!OO.QOOtb of an inch in diameter. A million-year-old handful! This asbestos has been completely fiberized and prepared and is now ready to be carded into roving. 4 RBB 01238 WHY ROCKBESTOS A.V.C. WAS DEVELOPED Since the early days of electrified industry, there has been a definite need for an electrical conductor insulation which would operate dependably in elevated ambient temperatures. High ambient temperatures were a prob lem then as they are today, and the performance of or dinary wires and cables at that time was restricted by the very nature of the materials used. Rubber, for instance, while known to be high in moisture resistance, was af fected by high temperatures which caused it to become dry and porous limiting its length of effective service. The life of straight varnished cambric insulations too was seriously affected by high ambient temperatureswhich tended to cause deterioration of the tapes. Early asbestos insulations proved unsatisfactory because they consisted only of a series of asbestos braids filled with paint or other compound. Recognizing that high temperatures and moisture were the major threats to the life of insulations, Rockbestos Engineers designed and developed their A.V.C, construc tion. This A.V.C. construction used as a basis dense felt ed walls of thoroughly impregnated asbestos to form a continuous insulation which would permanently resist heat, flame and moisture. High dielectric varnished cam bric tapes were added as an insert between the felted as bestos to give added dielectric strength and moisture resistance. In this combination the felted asbestos also provided protection for the Varnished Cambric tapes against mechanical damage, deterioration from oxida tion and prevents the formation of a continuous carbon path from conductor to ground. This basic construction was covered overall with either impregnated asbestos or flameproof cotton braids. This new Rockbestos A.V.C construction was designed primarily to safeiy and depen dably carry electrical loads in high ambient locations and to withstand additional operating hazards such as attacks of chemicals, oils, grease and fumes. Here was an insu lation designed to give a long life of dependable oper ation under severest conditions. Since the introduction of Rockbestos A.V.C. wires and cables in 1927, many millions of feet have been installed throughout the world under norma! and abnormal oper ating conditions. These installations have covered a wide range of high temperatures and moisture conditions in practically every known industry. Rockbestos Field Engi neers have constantly checked many of these installations in various industries since 1927 to check field conditions against long time tests run by our Research Laboratory to confirm the ability of Rockbestos A.V.C. to meet un usual service conditions. Because of their successful oper ation, these asbestos-varnished cambric wires and cables were included in the National Electrical Code in the 1957 Edition and designated as N.E.C. Types AVA, AVL and AVB. The trade name "A.V.C." as registered by Rockbestos and used commercially is synonymous with National Electrical Code Types AVA, AVL and AVB. That is, A.V.C. finished with asbestos braid is Type AVA, with lead sheath is Type AVL and with cotton braid is Type AVB. THE Hi-I STORY Maximum current carrying capacities of insulated con ductors are determined within practical limits by the maximum temperature the insulation will stand without undue deterioration. The Code in rating this original Rockbestos A.V.C. con struction permitted it a higher temperature limit than ordinary insulations because its impregnated felted as bestos walls safely resisted deterioration under high am bients and the heat from current loads. Chapter 10, Ta bles I and 11, under "Allowable Current-Carrying Capa cities at 30C" list Rockbestos A.V.C. Type AVA con struction with greater current carrying capacity size for size than for cables with ordinary insulations. The prac tical advantages of Rockbestos A.V.C, begin here. As ambient temperatures increase and correction factors are applied, A.V.C. is de-rated far less than ordinary con structions, all because of its insulation. At 70C, for instance, other types of insulations are de rated as much as 65% while Rockbestos A.V.C. is de rated only 29%. At ambient temperatures in excess of S5C, a limiting point for other types of insulations. Rockbestos A.V.C. rated at 110C continues to provide permanent protection for electrical circuits. Plant layouts and expansion programs are given greater flexibility by installing Rockbestos A.V.C. because not only does it provide greater current carrying capacity for intermittent demands and future load growth in existing circuits, but the installation of heat generating equipment is not restricted by its nearness to vital electrical circuits. The fact that you can use a smaller sized cable to carry a given load can start a whole series of cumulative sav ings. Smaller cable means smaller conduit and fittings.

FELTED ASBESTOS WALLS This ciose-up of a double insulator to the ;ct: >o'u the operation performed by the battery of insulating machines pictured below, Sinaic or double heads, car rying the cheeses of tlutty asbestos roving, revoive around the conductor to apply a uniform '.vail of as bestos which is then impregnated and comoressei ;o specified thicknesses. This dense waii, resistant to heat, flame, grease, oil and fumes, is the basis of the insulation of Rockbestos All-Asbestos and A.V.C type wires and cables. IMPREGNATING COMPOUNDS in genera! the felted asbestos insulating wails of ail Rockbestos wires, cables and coeds are impregnated with a chemically neutral, black insulating compound which is heat, moisture and flame resisting. Wherever identifying colors are required on w-jres having no outer braid, the insulation can be furnished in white, black or plain colors. In special cases where a wire will be exposed only to extremely high temperatures and no moisture, white compound may be used in the impregnation of the felted asbestos walls and for the flnish of the braid. See page 45 Rockbestos Extra Flexible Ail-Asbestos Apparatus Cable. HIGH DIELECTRIC TAPES One of the large wrapping machines which applies varnished cambric or synthetic tapes to various types of Rockbestos A.V.C, cables. Rotating heads apply tapes selected to provide specified mil wall thickness es, desired lap and length of lay required by the type of cable in process. Varnished cambtic tapes are being applied over the nest teited asbestos wail of the Rockbestos A.V.C. Power Cable in the machine. 6 RBB 01240 i --J | APPLY I ^ BRAIDS and FINISHES ASBESTOS BRAIDS Standard Rockbestos A.V.C. Type AVA wires and cables are supplied with a black asbestos braid and Type AVB with flameproof gray cotton braid, but these wires and cables can be furnished with other braid materials and colors for other special applica tions. This picture to the right shows one of the big cable braiders. The carriers and their spools of as bestos yarn weave in and out in a may-pole dance to form the rugged heat and flame resistant outer braid. Cabie diameters, yarn sizes and the number of ends and picks per inch must be taken into consideration to obtain proper coverage and allowance for flexing action in sendee. 0 Q Q Q 0 0 0 COTTON BRAIDS This close-up of a high speed brai-ier is shown ap plying a braid of cotton to a Rockbestos A.V.C. Type AVB Switchboard Wire. The weaving action of this machine is accomplished by rotating two levels of car riers in opposite directions and diverting threads from the Jow-er ievel alternately over and under the threads from the top level by a series of cams. Rockbestos fin ished cotton braids as used for outer coverings comply with the current requirements of ASA specifications for Cotton Braid for Insulated Wire and Cable tor General Purposes--Code Braids (commonly known as NMA Class B Drr.iil). Other materials such as rayon, glass, silk, etc. are also braided on this type of machine, STANDARD AN0 SPECIAL FINISHES ASBESTOS BRAIDS are finished with a suitable flame and heat resisting compound ot saturated and finished with a flame, heat and moisture resisting com pound, as specified. COTTON BRAIDS are finished with a flame and heat resisting compound or saturated and finished with a flame, heat and moisture resisting compound, as specifi:;!. On any of the standard wires shown in this catalog, special cotton rwine, linen, glass or rayon braids can be substituted if necessary'. Also a variety of special braid finishes such as lacquer, wax. asphalt or alumi num paint can be applied overall. 7 RBB 01241 OTHER ROCKBESTOS OUTER COVERINGS Any wire of our manufacture can be furnished with lead sheath, baske: weave metal armor, interlocking steel or brorue armor .or with almost anv type of special covering needed for a specific application. These covetinc: when applied comply with current NEMA specifications for metallic cov. erings. Metallic and synthetic sheathings may be used on Rockbestos A.V.C. Pow er and Control constructions in ratings ranging from 600 to 5000 volts. Metallic Braid Coverings The braiders weave coverings of wire just as well as those of cotton ot as bestos yam. This armor braider is weaving a protective basket weave metal braid over the synthetic sheath of the cable. Such metals as Aluminum, Steel and Bton2e are used on chese armor braiders to form heavy ducy coverings for circuits requiring greatest mechanical strength and abrasion resistance. Electrical shields of tinned copper can also be applied when specified. Interlocked Armor Coverings Cables covered with either steel or bronze interlocked armor are not only protected from exposure to severe he3t and moisture, but their use elimi nates the need for conduit giving increased flexibility to wiring systems. The cable so protected can be run in troughs, up vertical risers or over and around obstructions. On orders for these types of special coverings, give complete specifications and state cutting lengths on order. EXTRUDED LEAD and SYNTHETIC SHEATHS Lead sheaths such as are required on Rodcbestos A.V.C, Type AVL Power Ca bles are extruded by lead presses like the one pictured at the left, A pressure of approximately 1,000 tons per square inch is used to apply the lead sheaths to the cable. These rooisturepcoof sheaths are used on Rockbestos standard Power, Con trol and Industrial Heating Cables. The Tuber pictured to the right is extrud ing a thermoplastic synthetic sheath over a large asbestos insulated shipboard cable. Other tubers similarly sheathe or apply synthetic insulation to small wires and cables. 8' RBB 0124k: APPROVED USES FOR ROCKBESTOS CONSTRUCTIONS Rockbestos Construction Rockbestos A.V.C. 1 Rockbestos All-Asbcsros 1 NEC Type AVA AVB AVL TA A A1 AA AIA AF ; Maximum Copper Operating Temp.

THE QUESTION OF MOISTURE Article 310, Chapter III, of the National Elecrrical Code under the heading of "Conductors" states that the AVA and AVB type wires shall be used in dry locations only and the AVL type should be used in wet locations. In clarifi cation of these limitations. Article 100 in Chapter I defines a dry location as being one not normally subject to damp ness or wetness--and goes on to say that a location classified as dry may be temporarily subject to dampness or wetness as in the case of a building under construction. Under this regulation AVA and AVB types can be used where occa sional moisture is present, for example moisture which is usually the result of condensation. This is as it should be! Heat and moisture in conduit app lications cannot be dissociated. Where heat is present for any period of time, a moisture condition sooner ot later will appear. Usually the condition occurs during periodic shut downs, as in the case of weekend holidays, where sudden changes in conduit temperatures from hot to cold result in condensation. Again condensation can and does occur where a sufficient temperature differential exists along the conduit. A case in point would be a single conduit run from a high temperature furnace area to a cold outside wail. A certain amount of air circulation exists within the conduit and moisture is precipitated at the colder end--a condition iden tical with precipitation on cold water pipes in basements during a humid summer day. ' Rockbestos A.V.C. (N.E.C. Type AVA) was designed to meet these conditions as it is constructed of asbestos, tho roughly impregnated with heat, flame and moisture resistant compounds, together with high dielectric varnished cambric tapes. Since the inception of this design, Rockbestos Research has been running continuous laboratory projects simulating an- ual fleid service conditions on various A.V.C constructions? A.V.C. constructions installed in conduit were subjected to steam, heat, a combination of heat and water--even com plete submersion for extended periods to simulate emer gency conditions. The results proved conclusively that Rock bestos A.V.C. has not only a built in factor of safety against "moisture" as defined by the National Electrical Code but substantial ability to withstand extreme conditions encount ered in conduit applications as well. Since then millions of feet of Rockbestos A.V.C. have been used successfully in industry to further prove its dependable operation. Where a portion of a circuit in conduit is subject ed to heat and another portion subjected to water, as in the case of steel mill furnace control circuits running partially through under-slab duct systems, AVL is recommended. 9 RBB 01243 TYPICAL APPLICATIONS FOR POWHR> WHERE SUBJECTED TO POWER CIRCUITS UP TO 5000 VOLT SERVICE Standard Rockbestos A.V.C.

LIGHTING AND POWER CIRCUITS Rockbestos Hi-I A.V.C. (Code Type AVA) Lighting and Power Cables are high temperature cables. This A.V.C. construction-- two layers of impregnated felted asbestos encasing the varnished cambric--permits continuous operation at copper temperatures of 250F (110C), thus making Hi-I cables ideal tor high ambient "Hot Spot" locations or, in normal ambient installations, per mitting the use of smaller cables with consequent savings of cop per, conduit, Strings and man-hours of labor as compared with cables having ordinary insulation. 10 RBB 01244 LIGHTING and CONTROL CIRCUITS - HIGH TEMPERATURES RHEOSTAT AND APPARATUS WIRING Rockbestos All-Asbestos Rheostat Wires and Cables were design u ed primarily for open wiring. Operating temperatures of 125;C for 600 voit ratings and 200"C for 500 voir applications can be safeiy met as constant elevated temperatures will nor cause the a compounds to fall away or flake of: even through repeared heat ing and cooling cycles. r-- I: is especially recommended for grid jumper connections from grids to faceplates, ovens and element ieads on well type anneal ing furnaces and open wiring exposed to extremely high temper atures, corrosive fumes, grease, oil or fire hazard. a a a SWITCHBOARDS AND PANEL BOARDS Millions of feet of Rockbestos fireproof A.V.C. (N.E.C. Type a AVB) Switchboard Wire have been used by switchboard manu facturers. power stations and industrial plants since we originated and patented the A.V.C. type. Fine appearance is assured complet a ed boards because it can be bent at right angles without cracking the braid, Rockbestos A.V.C. Switchboard Wires have a maximum operating a temperature of 90C (194F.i and are listed by the Underwriters' Laboratories. They comply with the NEMA Smali Wiring fot Switchboards Standard and are approved by Factory Mutual Lab a oratories. switchboard manufacturers and power companies. See Page -i2 for Rockbestos synthetic and asbestos insulated switch board wires, N.E.C. Type TA constructions. MOTOR LEADS Mill motors and other heavy duty stationary and traction types use Rockbestos A.V.C. Motor Lead and Apparatus Cable fot pro tection against conductor-heating overloads and high ambient temperatures. This cable retains its flexibility indefinitely because ir won't dry out with heat or age. won't rot or bloom from con ] tact with oil or grease and won't burn or carry flame. These per formance-protecting characteristics make it ideal for motor wiring in steel mills, generating stations, all types of coal mining equip ment, industrial plants--and numerous electrical apparatus app lications. 11 RBB 01245 A FEW SPECIFIC USES FOR ROCKBESTOS A.V.C.

MAXIMUM OPERATING TEMPERATURE: HO-'C (230 FI APPLICATIONS This cable finds its use in steel mills, power stations, boiler rooms, automotive, ceramic and glass plants oc other indus tries in which control and signal circuits or control appara tus are exposed to hear or fire haaard. It is especially recom mended for use in circuits and apparatus in metal making mills, boiler rooms, and power plants as it is highly resistant to heat, corrosive fumes, oil, grease and flame and has ample moisture resistance for installation either open or in conduit. Under exposure to flame this cable will maintain vital control and alarm system circuits for longer periods chan other types of insulated cables. SPECIFICATIONS 1. Tinned copper conductor 2. Felted asbestos 3. Varnished cambric -i. Felted asbestos 5. Colot coded cotron braids 6. Cable tape 7. Asbestos braid This cable is NEMA TYPE AVA with a maximum operat ing temperature of 110C (230eF). Conductors The standard srrandings furnished on these Rockbestos A.V.C. Control Cables is 19/22 (No, 9 A.W.G.) and 19/25 (No. 12 A.W.G.) but any desired stranding can be furnished to order and cabled into any required number of conductors. Insulation The insulation of the individual conductors is the same type as that on the power cables described on the ptevious pages with the exception of the outer braid which is a color coded cotton braid to obtain circuit identification. When furnished for single conductor use asbestos braid replaces cotton braid. Impregnated felted asbestos walls seal the varnished cambric from heat, flame and oxidation. Moistureproof tape is wrapped over the cabled conductors and the outer covering of tough, braided asbestos yarn is finished with heat, flame and moisture resisting compounds. Coding The individual wires are braided in colors according to the NEMA standard color code for multi-conductor cable, which is reproduced below. Special color combinations can be furnished to specification. lead or Armor Covering These cables may be made up with either lead sheath, armor, or lead sheath and armor covering. Synthetic sheathing is optional also where temperatures permit. Finish The standard finish of the outer braided asbestos jacket is a black, flame, heat and moisture resisting compound.

Control Cable illustrated is one of the many multi conductor cables designed to meet specific requirements in control and power circuits. They are made up as shown or with either lead sheath or armor only as specified and in ratings ranging from 600 to 5000 volts. (Synthetic sheath ings may also be specified toe control cables where tempetacures permit.) This tvpe of cable not only protects operation of circuits exposed to heat and moisture and other severe operating conditions, but also increases the flexi bility of wiring systems and makes circuits more easily accessible. The felted asbestos insulation, impregnated with hear, flame and moisture resisting compounds, withstands high temperatures, corrosive fumes, aging and conductor-heating overloads. The lead sheath protects it from excessive condensation resulting from heating and cooling cycles and complete sub mersion. The spiral bronze armor eliminates the need for conduit, an impor tant consideration in capacity expansion programs, as the cable can be tun in troughs, up vertical risers or over and around obstructions. Its flame and heat resistant structure will also maintain viral alarm and control system cir cuits for longer periods under exposure to flame than other conventional types. The cable illustrated on this page is a special construction which is typical of many "specials" designed by Rockbestos to meet severe or unusual operating conditions. Its construction consists of: Conduit saving bronze armor covering for procection against abrasion. Impregnated jute braid to cushion the armor and to pcotect the lead sheath from mechanical damage. Lead sheathing for protection against immersion or excessive condensation. Friction tape to bind the cabled conductors securely together to maintain the lay. INDfVrDL'AL CONDUCTORS Coded individual cotton braided conductors for easy circuit identification. Felted asbestos beneath the cotton braid impregnated with hear, flame and moisture resistant compounds. Varnished cambric for high dielectric strength and added moisture resistance. Inner wall of felted asbestos to complete the A.V.C, construction serving as a baffle between the varnished cambric and heated conductors. *4: RBB 01270 ROCKBESTOS 600 VOLT SWITCHBOARD WIRES NEC TYPE AVB--ROCKBESTOS A.V.C. and National Electrical Code Type TA MAXIMUM OPERATING TEMP. 90aC (194eF) 5 NEC TYPE AVB n ROCKBESTOS A.V.C vanished felted flameproof cambric asbestos cotton braid Rockbescos A.V.C. Switchboard Wire is designated as Na tional Electrical Code Type AVB. has a maximum operating temperature of 90C (194-F) and is listed by the Under writers' Laboratories. It complies with the NEMA Small Wiring for Switchboards Standard and is approved by Fac tory Mutual Laboratories, switchboard manufacturers and power companies. It is used for switchboards, radio and tele vision Transmitters, motor driven rheostats, control panels for motor starters, elevators, fire doors, cranes, induction heating apparatus, oil burning boiier units, etc. Fine appearance of completed boards is also assured because Rockbestos A.V.C, Switchboard Wire can be bent at right angles without cracking the braid. This desirable characteris tic is contributed by the felted asbestos wall of insulation which acts like a cushion beneath the braid and gives siighrlv when a sharp bend is made. For this reason boards can be wired faster than with other types of switchboard wire which must be handled carefully if breaks are to be avoided. On switchboards installed in locations where the wiring is ex posed to very high temperatures, we recommend the use of our Table C, Rockbestos A.V.C. Lighting Wire, on page It in this catalog.

ELECTRIC STOVE BUS CIRCUITS, ELEMENT LEADS ON WELL TYPE ANNEALING FURNACES AND OPEN WIRING EXPOSED To EXTREMELY HIGH TEMPERATURES, CORROSIVE FUMES, GREASE, OIL OR FIRE HAZARD. Asbestos rheostat wire was originally produced by putting two or three braids of asbestos yam on the wire and finishing each braid with compound. This had several disadvantages. For example, its moisture resistance was very low due to the comparatively open covering so that many engineers consid ered that spaced wiring was necessary in order to prevent possible leakage under damp conditions. The labor cost of doing this type of wiring is high. Another disadvantage--though really more of an annovance --was that in working wich this wire a good deal of the compound flaked off and continued to do so after the instal lation was completed, spoiling the appearance of an other wise nice job. The Rockbesros development of the felted and impregnated wall of asbestos insulation was a distinct improvement. In stead of a relatively open covering on the wire, the asbestos is applied in the form of a homogeneous insulation. The dielectric strength is thereby increased. Next, the impregnat ing compound is an integral part of the insulating wall, not painted on after the wall is formed. That means chat, through repeated heating and cooling cycles, the compound can never fail away from the asbestos. The dielectric strength and mois ture resistance of Rockbestos Rheostat Wire are, therefore, practically constant. And there is none of the usual flaking when working with Rockbestos Rheostat Wire and Cable, with either white or black braid. Because of its comparatively high moisture resistance Rock bestos Rheostat Wire may be bunch-wired with safety, and it is also recommended for open wiring carrying less than 600 volts which is subject to high temperatures or rotting, corrosive fumes. For a 300 volt construction of the same type refer ro page 44.

It will not deteriorate under consrant high ambient temperatures and is highly resistant to corrosive fumes, flame, grease and oil, characteristics which make it ideal for jumper leads, etc I For high dielectric strength and moisture resist ance see Rockbestos A.V.C Motor Lead and Apparatus Cable on page IS.) Automotive bus manufacturers and operators use it for en gine compartment wiring and leads for batteries, crank case and radiator immersion heaters because of irs high resistance to heat and flame. (For smaller diameter cable for these applications and diesel locomotive control circuit wiring in quire abour special Type ACA engine compartment ot controi cables.) This cable is National Electrical Code Type AIA, listed by the Underwriters' Laboratories. Maximum operating temper ature is 123C (257F). Standard finish colors: Black, white red, blue and gray. This cable can be made up wtrh extra flexible stranded tinned conductor if required. For 300 volt construction refer to page 44. Tabie RF-300.

ASBESTOS BRAID J 3 3 3 3 3 3 1 --J FOR railway locomotive cab and gauge lighting circuits, pendant lighting fixtures, blueprint ma chines, SPOT AND FLOODLIGHTS, LEADS FOR FURNACES, OVENS, APPARATUS, ETC. Rockbestos All-Asbestos Cord was originally developed for cab and gauge lighting circuits of steam locomotives to re place rubber insulated cords which failed to stand up under heat and vibration. Because of this use it is widely known in the railroad field as Cab Cord. There is no rubber whatever in this construction. Instead thebasis of the insulation is asbestos, applied to the wire by our unique insulating process and impregnated and compressed to form the felted asbestos wall. It meets a demand for a heat-resisting, fireproof, permanently flexible cord which will operate without failure under exposure to heat, corrosivefumes, oil, grease or fire hazard. Because it will not dry up and crack under heat, it makes an ideal heavy duty cord for pendant lighting fixtures located in high temperature areas in steel mills, boiler rooms, kilns, glass plants, etc. It is also used for leads in heat-developing apparatus and for the wiring of blueprint machines, flood and spot lights and other high wattage units which develop temperatures that are ruinous to other types of insulated wires. For applications in which moisture may be encount ered, use Rockbestos A.V.C. Flexible Cord described on page 19. If a perfectly round construction is desired it can be made up with fillers on special order. If required for AFPD applications it can be made with polarized conductors on special order. Standard finish colors: Black, white, red, blue and gray. Authorized stock items: Black. RAILROADS NOTE: For lighting circuits in locomotives equipped with train control apparatus we recommend using Rockbestos A.V.C. Flexible Cord because of its higher insula tion resistance.
