Title	Quadrupole Magnet of the Intersecting Storage Ring
Description	The Intersecting Storage Rings (ISR) was the world's first hadron collider. It operated from 1971 to 1984 and held the record luminosity for hadron colliders till 2004. The ISR hosted the first superconducting quadrupole magnets. The ISR low-$\beta$ quadrupole magnets were part of a luminosity upgrade program. The coils were wound using a rectangular Cu/Nb-Ti wire, enamel insulated, and were epoxy impregnated. Glass-epoxy bands kept the coils together in the quadrupole configuration and withstood the electromagnetic forces.
