DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
Apparatus for forming along the periphery of a pool a system for mounting a bundle of optical fibers, said apparatus including (a) a form including an elongate sealing portion; (b) an elongate track mounted on said form, said track including (i) a mounting channel shaped and dimensioned to receive the bundle of optical fibers, said channel having an elongate back and being mounted on said elongate sealing portion of said form such that said sealing portion prevents a slurry from flowing into said mounting channel, (ii) an elongate U-shaped groove, (iii) an elongate back common to and intermediate said channel and said groove, and (iv) a plurality of spaced apart apertures formed through said back of and opening into said channel and said groove; and, (c) a plurality of anchor members each extending through said form, said channel, said groove, and one of said apertures.
2.
Apparatus for forming along the periphery of a pool a system for mounting a bundle of optical fibers, said apparatus including (a) a form including an elongate sealing portion; (b) an elongate track mounted on said form, said track including (i) a mounting channel shaped and dimensioned to receive the bundle of optical fibers, said channel being mounted on said elongate sealing portion of said form such that said sealing portion prevents a slurry from flowing into said mounting channel, (ii) an elongate U-shaped groove, and (iv) a plurality of spaced apart apertures; and, (c) a plurality of anchor members each extending through said form, said channel, said groove, and one of said apertures and each including a collar shaped and dimensioned, when said anchor member is inserted in one of said apertures, to be inserted in said groove and turned to lock said anchor member in position such that said collar and said anchor member are prevented from being pulled out of said groove, said channel, said groove, and said aperture.
3.
The apparatus of claim 2 wherein said sealing portion extends into said channel
