36 years later... A limiting factor at present with the fibre guide is that the best readily available low-loss material has a loss of about 1000 dB/km. However, it is foreseen that the present material can be improved, and our team have indications that materials having losses of only tens of dB/km should be forthcoming. Geoffrey Charlish, 26.1.1966
