After passing the die A wire B, paper C, and copper strip D, are rolled up into a round wire, F, the joint in the tube formed by D, being upon the upper side. In passing through die G, strip E is wrapped around F, with the joint on the bottom. This arrangement ensures that the joints come opposite or very nearly so, as shown in the following diagram which is a sectional view of the completed conductor.
