  • Patent number: 4110592
    Abstract: Metallic tape is butt spliced, i.e. without overlapping the tape, by measuring a fine strip of silver solder into a gap between the cut edges of the lengths of tape being spliced in such a manner that the strip of solder extends over one of the lengths and under the other. The area being spliced is pressed between carbon electrodes and the silver solder is fused by the passage of resistance current.

  • Patent number: 4048686
    Abstract: Buoys for use in submarine cable and pipe laying are fastened to the cable or pipe by lengths of line stored within the buoys. The buoys descend with the cable to a point where they are unaffected by wave action. Water is free to enter the bottom of the buoys and compress the gas therein thus reducing buoyancy and, through the release of a brake, controlled, in turn, by a float, allowing the line from which the cable or pipe is suspended to pay out.
