| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | The Alphaduct Company was incorporated to manufacture Alphaduct conduit, a flexible tube used for the protection of electric wires, and made of non-metallic fibre and insulating compounds. The manufactured product conforms to the rules and regulations of the National electric code for use under the rules and requirements of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, and is regularly inspected and approved at the Underwriter's laboratories. The company started
business in New York in 1902, but its annual increase in business averaging over fifty per cent., it soon found that its plant was too small, and in 1905 moved to its present location at 134, 136 and 138 Cator Avenue, Jersey City. The officers are Russel Dost, president; Courtney Hyde, secretary, and J. T. Monell, treasurer. The Alphaduct flexible conduit tubing, which is included in the list of approved electrical fittings by the Underwriters' National
Electrical Association, is carefully restricted in manufacture to the most approved materials. Alphaduct possesses the greatest flexibility, due to its special construction, and is successfully used in hard places where other tubes fail. It is the easiest to fish and the handiest to work. Alphaduct's interior lining - the "white inside" as it is
termed by the trade - is of smooth, hard-finished cotton duck, lubricated with soapstone to make it perfect for the easy entrance of the wire. It gives greatest protection from moisture since its construction encloses the fibre
special and jacket in waterproof compounds. It is the highest achievement in the art of interior conduit construction, and its manufacture is protected by letters patent. In the short time in which the company has
been engaged in business in Jersey City, it has become one of the city's leading industries, and an important factor of its manufacturing life. The product which it makes has a peculiar field, in that it is the only tubing which the Underwriters will allow to be placed in certain classes of buildings, as a result of which it has an exceptionally large trade in those lines. The officers all have great faith in Jersey City. |
