Both mica and asbestos, being capable of standing high temperature, are valuable insulating ma terials, preventing the coils from being short-circuited and securing full resistance. When resistance fails or lessens, the current, instead of following its proper path, is carried to ground through a shorter course.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
