This is an old-conjecture due to Tait in the squeal of efforts in settling the four-color conjecture at the end of the 19th century. We have also shown the applicability of our method to another well-known three edge-coloring conjecture on cubic graphs. Namely Tutte's conjecture that "every 2-connected cubic graph with no Petersen minor is 3-edge colorable". Hence the conclusion of this paper implies another non-computer proof of the four color theorem by using spiral-chains in different context.draft-paper, 14 pages, 8 figuresCombinatorics05CSpiral Chains: The Proofs of Tait's and Tutte's Three-Edge-Coloring Conjecturestext
