...United Geophysical Corp., a firm that searches the ocean floor for petroleum and minerals. Through its automotive division, the company already sells $154 million worth of brakes, carburetors, pumps and power steering systems. By acquiring Besly-Welles, it will also be able to start selling the drills, grinders and metal-cutting tools used in making auto parts.

Thanks to newly developed, highly insulated coverings, the cables can be dropped into machine-dug trenches without the cumbersome metal casings of previous systems. And the telephone company can put its lines in the same trench, cutting costs even further...
