Coil Cords are formed by spirally wrapping cable around a metal or plastic mandrel, heating to a "set" temperature, and then "reversing" the coils to give the cord the necessary retractile memory.

	COIL CORD GUIDELINES:  I. Body Length Minimum Tolerances   a. Less than 3" +/-1/4"   b. 3" to 6" +/-1/2"   c. 6" to 12" +/-1/2"   d.12" to 18" +/-1" (Will accept +/-1/2")   e. Over 18" +/-2" (Will accept +/-1") II. Body O.D.   a. All coils +/-10% III. Tangents without Modular Plugs   a. Nominal tangent dimension "X" measured form end of tangent to closes point of coil body b. Minimum Tolerance +/- 1/2"   IV. Tangents with Modular Plugs   a. Nominal tangent dimension "X" represents length of straight cable between plug and closest point     of coil body. b. Minimum Tolerance +/-1" (Will Accept +/-1/2")
