Abstract

A horizontal porcupine coil of electric resistance heating wire is supported against sagging by two superimposed coil-center ceramic tubes containing a conductor for one end of the coil. If one tube cracks it is improbable that the other would crack in the same place, and this keeps to a minimum the possibility of short-circuiting between the conductor and coil.
