1950's-60's Transatlantic Atlantic Underwater Telegraph/Telephone CABLE demo samples I got this from an old lifetime sailor that spent much of his life as a Navy man and Merchant Marine laying cables. This is from his personal collection he gave me shortly before he passed away from old age. Unfortunately I forgot to ask him what this piece was used for. The thick end is heavy as if there is a lot more metal inside. The center wire goes from the thin end and all the way through to the thick pointed end. The big end has two flat areas on the outer edge as if to align it with something. Size is 12 3/4" long and 1 1/2" wide at the thick end and 1/2" at the thin end. My best guess is that this may have been the end of a spool used for testing the spool of wire or for splicing. I do not know the model number of this cable. I have not see a piece like this anywhere on the internet. Perhaps an old sailor out there could tell me.
