For the proposed Superconducting Super Collider (SSC), trim coils placed inside the main coils of the dipoles are needed to correct for field nonuniformities due to superconducting magnetization, iron saturation, and systematic construction errors. Four 4.5 m superconducting sextupole trim coils have been made using methods adapted from printed circuit technology and suitable for mass production. This paper presents measurements of the multipoles and quench currents and compares them with SSC requirements. Based on these results, this type of trim coil (''Multiwire'') looks quite promising for use in the SSC.
