Abstract. Three model superconducting dipole magnets 1m long, without iron, having a bore diameter of 76 mm have been built without epoxy resins or other adhesives and tested in He I and He 11. The conductor is the 23-strand Rutherford-type cable used in the Fermilab Doubler Saver magnets, and is insulated with Mylar and Kapton. The two-layer winding is highly compressedby a system of structural support rin^s and tapered collets. Little "training" was required to reach quench currents greater than 95 percent of "short sample" in Helium I. The maximum quench current in He II is increased ?0 to 30 percent, compared with He I operation at 4.4 K. Test results are given on cyclic losses, heater-induced quenches, and charge-rate effects.
