Ceroc - several meanings

Ceroc is a partner dance best described as a fusion of Salsa and Jive, but
without the complicated footwork. According to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceroc#History_of_Ceroc it got started in 1980 but
the Ngram engine shows a BIG written history for the word back in the 1950s
and 60s.

The answer is here https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Ceroc
%22&tbs=bks:1,cdr:1,cd_min:1950,cd_max:1959&lr=lang_en
where Ceroc
seems to have been "an extremely thin and flexible ceramic insulation
deposited on copper wire".

Wikipedia doesn't seem to know that.
