Claim 3
Dependent Claim
121 words
THAT METHOD OF MAKING A CONTINUOUS SHEATHED CABLE HAVING A PLURALITY OF LAYERS OF OPPOSITELY SPIRALING CONDUCTORS WHICH METHOD COMPRISES ADVANCING A CABLE COREOF SPIRALLY ARRANGED CONDUCTORS SUCCESSIVELY PAST A CONDUCTOR ASSEMBLY STATION AND A CABLE SHEATHING STATION, CONTINUOUSLY ADDING AT LEAST ONE OTHER SPIRAL LAYER OF CONDUCTORS TO SAID CORE SPIRALING IN A DIRECTION OPPOSITE TO THE DIRECTION OF SPIRAL OF SAID CORE CONDUCTORS, ADVANCING A CONTINUOUS FLEXIBLE STRIP-LIKE SHEATH LYING GENERALLY PARALLEL TO THE LENGTH OF THE CABLE BEING SHEATHED INTO INTIMATE ENCIRCLING ENGAGEMENT WITH THE MULTIPLE LAYERS OF SPIRALING CONDUCTORS, WHICH SHEATH IS PROVIDED ALONG ITS OPPOSITE EDGES WITH INTERFITTING SEAM MEANS, AND CONTINUOUSLY CLOSING SAID INTERFITTING SEAM MEANS AS SAID CABLE IS ADVANCED PAST SAID SHEATHING STATION.
