For the greatest depths atsea, type _A_ is employed for a total length of 1, 420 miles; thediameter of this part of the cable is seven-eighths of an inch. As thewater lessens in depth the sheathing increases in size until thediameter of the cable becomes one and one-sixteenth inches for 152miles, as type _B_. The cable now undergoes a third enlargement, andthen its fourth and last proportions are presented as it touches theshore, for a distance of one and three-quarter miles, where type _C_ has...a diameter of two and one-half inches. The weights of material used inthis cable are: copper wire, 495 tons; gutta-percha, 315 tons; juteyarn, 575 tons; steel wire, 3, 000 tons; compound and tar, 1, 075 tons;total, 5, 460 tons. The telegraph-ship _Faraday_, specially designed forcable-laying, accomplished the work without mishap.
Electrical science owes much to the Atlantic cables, in particular tothe first of them. At the very beginning it banished the idea thatelectricity as it passes through metallic conductors has anything likeits velocity through free space.
