Anybody shed any light on what "Non-association" might mean?

Okay so the book is dated 1931. These scans might answer the question.

There other sections covering steel conduit, lead covered wiring and wood
casing that I can scan if anyone is interested. There is also a brilliant
section on how to light a house.

My 1936 "Sunco" trade catalogue lists their VIR cable as "Association
Quality", and their Cab Tyre Sheath (CTS) merely as British Made.
There are two types of VIR listed - "S.C.V." 600 Megohm grade rated
test pressure 1,000 volts after 24 hours immersion in water at 60F,
and "S.C.X." 2,500 Megohm grade with similar test pressure.
The CTS is merely shown as 600 Megohm grade.
All are allegedly made to I.E.E. specification.


Is this where the expression "CTS gland" comes from, I wonder?
