From the latter, the strip 2l passes through a preforming device 25 (see particularly Figure 3) into the front end of the passage 5. The de vice 25 has a transversely extending slot 84 through which the strip 2l passes, the slot commencing the shaping of the strip by bending it transversely to its length to facilitate its entry into the passage 6 where the main part of the transverse bending of the strip is effected and the edges of the strip caused to move towards each other and to provide between those edges a gap which gradually decreases in width in a direction towards the front end of the apparatus. After passing through the device 25, the strip passes from below the rear end of the cylinder 2 into the rear end of the passage 6.
During the passage of the strip through the casing l0, a small quantity of powder is discharged from the feed hopper I3, to the front or workingl end of the ram l which is then positioned (see Figure 2) a short distance to the rear of a port 28 in the intermediate part 8 of the inner member 4. The powder falls from the feed hopper through the aperture l l in the casing ID, through the gap between the edges of the shaped strip (see Figure and through the port 26 into the intermediate part 81. As the ram advances on its working stroke it closes the port 26, and pushes the powder in front of it, the ram continuing to move in the same direction until it enters that part of the tube where the edges of the tube have been joined together by the device I5 which completes the formation of the tube by soldering or otherwise joining the edges together. 'Ihe ram moves with clearance in this part of the tube and presses the powder around the axially disposed conductor and also consolidates the latter. The completed tube 29 and enclosed insulated conductor then pass together through the drawing down die i8 which further compresses the powder insulation. An appropriate form of pulling device indicated by Il may be used for pulling the insulated conductor with its enclosing tube through the die i5.

The broken line 3B indicates the path of an edge of the strip 2l as the latter passes from the pre-shaping device 25 to the space between the member Hi and the front portion 9 of the inner member 4l.
The ram l reciprocates in bearings 3l and at its front end, the inner member 4 is formed with a recess 32 which receives packing material 33 to avoid the risk or" powder reaching the bearings.
