My 1936 "Sunco" trade catalogue lists their VIR cable as "Association

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?

Yes.
