In electrical installations it is often of great importance completely to eliminate the self induction of the conductors that interconnect the various apparatus. In the circuit arrangements for wireless telegraph apparatus, for instance, these self induction phenomena'are very annoying.

The solution thus far arrived at consisted 'of the twisting together of the conductors or simply of locating the conductors near each other. However, the conductors cannot be connected to the apparatus unless their ends are separated, whereby loops will be formed that may possess considerable self induction.

The object of the present invention is to provide an arrangement whereby the self induction of the conductors is completely eliminated. v y y According to the present invention, the connections are so provided that each conductor is composed of two wires and the ends of these two wires are united in a manner to constitute a closed loop.

Attention is directed to theaccompanying drawing in which:

Fig. 1 is a cross section viewof a preferred modification of my invention. v

. Fig. 2 is a schematicdiagram of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a diagrammatic view for illustrating the operation of my invention.

Fig. 4 is a cross section view of another modification of my invention.

Referring to Figs. 1., 2 and. 3, the preferred embodiment of my invention com rises two conductors 1 and 2 arranged paral el to each other in a common plane'and two other conductors 3 and 4 arranged parallel to each other in another plane, the two planes being each other. The conductors may be encased in the usual insulating materialv 5.

Conductors 1 and 2 are joined together Referring to Fig. 3, ccniductors 1 and 2' constitute one side at a circmt and. comin at right angles to each other and bisectingtors 3 and 4 constitute'the other side. A s-- sume currents flowing down thru conductors 1 and 2 and up in conductors 3and 4. The ampere turns exerted by conductorsl and 2 tend to neutralize as do the ampere turns exerted by conductors 3 and 4:. This results in the substantial elimination of all self in-' duction between the various conductors.

The invention is applicable irrespective of the number of conductors employed and 'it is ndependent of the character of the current emplo ed. The invention may be generally app ied to installations wherein the elimination of the self induction in the conduetors is desired.

In wireless telegraph stations in which In certain stations and particularly in' stations installed on airplanes in which the alternator with the rotating discharger mount ed on the end of the shaft is located on the wings of the airplane at a fairly great dis-' tance from the oscillating circuit, conductors without self induction and arranged in the manner described above should be used.

Referring to Fig. 4., I 'may construct .a' cable comprising a conductive core. 10 forming oneside of a circuit and a plurality of conductors 11. arranged concentrically around the core 10 insulated from each other and from the core byinsulating material 12. While I have shown and described various preferred embodiments of my invention I 90.-

do not limit myself to the same but may employ such other modifications as come within the spirit and scope ofmy invention.

Having described my invention, what I claim is: j

1. A pair of electrical conductors for'use in a' circuit, each. conductor consisting of. two wires connected. n m l p a heir ends,

the plane of one pair of wires being perpendicular to the plane of the other pair.

2. A pair of electrical conductors each con- SiStiIl" of two wires connected to form a loop, 5 the pi a'ne of one loop being perpendicular to the plane of the other.

3. In an arrangement of the class described constituting two portions of an electrical circuit, each portion consisting of a pair of substantially straight wires con- 10 nected in multiple at their ends, the plane of one pair of wires being perpendicular to the plane of the other pair.
