An apparatus and method are described for the formation of a three dimensional composite article by use of a flexible male mold placeable within a cavity formed within a rigid female mold. Fibers are initially bound to the surface of the flexible male mold and the mold is thereafter placed inside the female mold cavity. The surface of the flexible male mold is thereafter displaced away from the female mold by the injection of hardenable resin between the molds. The flexible surface is thereafter...

A wood treatment composition for the preservation of wood comprises a mixture of creosote and a polymer which is miscible with the creosote at about 200.degree. F. and does not substantially phase-separate when the wood treatment composition is under ambient conditions. The polymer may include, but is not limited to, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers, ethylene methyl acrylate copolymers, ethylene ethyl acrylate copolymers, ethylene butyl acrylate copolymers, ethylene acrylic acid copolymers, eth...

A method of stringing a bundle of cables from a suspension bracket suspended from a tower cross arm by insulator strings includes securing a temporary connection along at least a part of one of the strings to provide a temporary suspension connection which enables the string to be uncoupled, so that one of the cables can be passed through the uncoupled string. The string is then recoupled and the temporary connection is removed to allow the conductor to be secured to the suspension bracket. This...
