- 1. A process for the manufacture of a remote control cable having two conducting wires separated and held by an insulating central element, reinforcing wires parallel to the said conductors, at least one layer of lapping covering these elements and at least one external coating layer, said process comprising the steps of:
- passing the conducting wires into a bath of molten material of an insulating product having a low dielectric constant; gauging the coated wires by passing them through a die of elliptical cross section by leading the wires horizontally to the gauging die and holding the wires in contact with the walls of the said die with the portion of the wires in contact with the walls of the die being less than half of the peripheral surface of the wires; wherein the conducting wires are led into the bath spaced at a distance from one another and converged toward one another adjacent the gauging die; wherein the conducting wires are maintained at the desired spacing from one another within said die to form a central dielectric element comprising two longitudinal recesses arranged symmetrically relative to a central solid portion, each recess enclosing a conductor over more than half of its periphery, the remainder of the periphery forming a free surface, the external surface of the central dielectric element forming with each of the free surfaces of each of the conductors a central element having a continuous surface of generally elliptical cross-section shape, covering the central element thus formed with a bundle of parallel reinforcing yarns such that the reinforcing yarns enclose the continuous surface of said central element, said continuous surface of the central element including the surface of the insulated central dielectric element and less than half of the peripheral surface of the wires, and then providing lapping and coating layers on said covered central element.
