Summary:

High tension ignition cables, used to connect the spark plugs with the distributor blocks on internal combustion engines, occassionally give trouble by cracking of the insulation. This investigation concluded that failure is caused by a chemical attack on the rubber by the products of the corona discharge; but is localized in cracks only where the insulation is subjected to mechanical tension. Failure as a result of other causes, such as the combined application of mechanical and electrical stress, or the prolonged application of electrical stress along, are show to be absent or of minor importance.
