the compound in the appoxy probably had something to do with the wire 
decaying over time and would weaken it so that it would more easily break 
off.
That, and any wire that is firmly stuck into something and moved back and 
forth will break off more easily hi.
These things sound very neat.
Highly usable for the average experimenter of the time.
