Chapter 3 in Post-Innovation Performance, 1986, pp 113-116 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract BICC’s development of a process for producing continually transposed cable (CTC) for sale to customers in the transformer manufacturing industry, represented one of two innovations which enabled the company to gain the Queen’s Award in 1966. CTC was first developed in America by General Electric, during the 1940s, as a means of improving the performance of large-capacity transformers used in electricity supply networks. Although the British Thompson Houston (BTH) Co. was quick to license the American transposing equipment, it only produced CTC for internal use in the production of some of its high-performance transformers.
