Discussion
In pairs, look at the picture shown and answer the following questions.
1 What do you think it is?
2 What is it used for?
Oral exposition
The cable tie first emerged over half a century ago. An application to patent the design was
submitted by the French company Société Parisienne de Constructions Electro-Mécaniques
(SOPACEM) in September 1956.
Instructions:
Imagine that you and your partner are engineers at SOPACEM. In pairs, prepare a short talk
suitable for a conference or trade fair to present your invention. Discuss the following points.
• potential applications (assemblies in which cable ties can be used)
• how a cable tie works (shapes, features and how it fits together)
• What other methods can be used?
