Abstract

A simple approximate procedure is presented for the determination of two types of cable property: (1) the overall flexibility of a cable carrying any given system of loads when the distance between the ends is altered; (2) the deflexions of such a cable when further loads are added. The method is based on a simple basic equation and leads to a single formula covering the complete range of values of the ratio applied loads/weight of cable.
The errors involved in problems of type (1) are small even when the ratio of sag to span is large and the cable is steeply inclined to the general direction of the applied loads which need not be parallel. For problems of type (2) the method is accurate only for parallel loads.

"... the rengitj, as a visible mark or imprint on the land, is characterised as a place of origin, the repository of all names, as well as a kind of mapped visual expression of the connection between people and places which is to be carried out in the temporal sequence of the journey."
