1,028.148. Irradiating cables. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES Ltd. Dec. 11, 1964 [Dec. 13, 1963], No. 49430/63. Heading H5R. [Also in Division H1] A cable is provided with an oscillating rotary motion about its longitudinal axis as it passes through an irradiation zone so that any inhomogeneity in the irradiation of the cable is minimized. The oscillating motion is transmitted to the cable by spring-pressed rubber rollers R which are mounted on a carrier E which oscillates with the cable through 180 degrees. This angle can be reduced by providing a number of electron radiator sources positioned around the cable. The focused beam of the radiator sources is arranged to oscillate both transversely and longitudinally with respect to the cable axis over the irradiation zone as the cable is passed.
