At first glance, the object that Gaccione is describing could in

deed be mistaken for a large piece of fine Italian pastry or ribbon candy, with a light blue swirl delicately intertwined among a series of brilliantly white folds.

But all of the white in the photo is not fancy Italian cream, it's from tape in tightly wrapped coils. And the blue swirl is insulating paper. The photo shows the work that has been done to complete a customized winding on a 450-hp motor to the exacting specifications of an arm of the United States military. It's just one of many similar jobs that routinely come through Atlantic-Kenmark Electric, Inc., the electrical service shop that Sal Gaccione has owned and operated here for 25 years, the last 22 in partnership with his two brothers, Frank andVincent.
