JOM: Volume 46, Number 12--December 1994


ABOUT THE COVER
As work continues to manufacture high. critical temperature superconductors for applications the cover shows American Superconductor Corporation's (Westborough, Massachusetts) rolling mill, which is used to create the internal architecture and external shape necessary to transform superconducting material into usable wire. Daily, the company produces approximately 275 meter lengths of wire. This issue's coverage of superconductivity begins on page 14.
