1. A composite superconductive tape having:
- (a) a rectangular central matrix element having a pair of wider faces and a pair of narrower faces when viewed in cross-section of a nonsuperconductive material in which are embedded a plurality of superconductive filaments;
(b) a pair of layers of superconductive material bonded to said wider pair of faces of said matrix;
(c) a pair of layers of a superconductive precursor material, selected such that it forms a superconductive compound when interreacted with the material of the matrix, bonded to said pair of layers of superconductive material;
(d) a second pair of layers of superconductive material bonded to said pair of layers of superconductor precursor material; and
(e) a pair of layers of a second nonsuperconductive material bonded to said second pair of layers of superconductive material.
