Abstract: A metal-shielded cable includes a core made of insulated wires each having a conductor coated with an insulation layer. The core is surrounded with a composite metal shield which includes a laminated metal-plastic layer and a shield layer. The shield layer includes a tape formed of woven filaments, which is wound around or aligned longitudinally along the core of the cable.

Abstract: A stranding machine wherein element wires are twisted twice for every turn of the flyer and thus obtained stranded wires are wound on a bobbin positioned inside the flyer in such a manner as to be rotatable thereto. This is an inclined vertical type stranding machine wherein the revolution axis of the flyer is inclined to the vertical line so that the direction of gravity force exerted on the floating frame supporting the bobbin is inclined to the revolution axis of the flyer, which makes it easy to keep the floating frame stationary. This is also a constant Pitch stranding machine provided with a device which control the running speed of stranded wires to keep the ratio of the running speed of stranded wires and twice the revolution rate of the flyer, that is, the pitch of the stranded wires.
