Material such as insulation which has been extruded onto a cable 6 is cooled in a system 9, 10 while travelling along a path. A parameter of the cable, such as capacitance or cross-section, is sensed at spaced points 14, 15 or 16, 17 and an output signal is generated by comparator 21 therefrom. The output signal may be used to control the length or circulation of the cooling system 9, 10, the speed of a take-up reel 13, or the extrusion device 7 itself. <IMAGE> |
