Abstract
We review a series of interstrand resistance measurements performed on two Rutherford-type cables made from unplated niobium-tin strands produced by A lstom: a regular cable and a cable with a stainless steel core inserted bet ween the two strand layers. The interstrand resistance measurements are int erpreted in terms of crossover and adjacent resistances and are compared to published data on similar cables.
