Taking an exhilarating Cable Car ride to the top of Gunung Mat Chinchang, 708m above sea level is an unforgettable experience. The 2.2km journey is full of heart-stopping thrills and its splendours are enhanced by the views across to the coast of southern Thailand and the surrounding islands that a clear day affords.

Cable Grist Mill ~ Cades Cove Tennessee
A view of the old Cable grist mill in Cades Cove, Tennessee, inside the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The scenic old mill was built in the 1870's and as you can see, is being kept in a good state of repair.
Time to label the cables in the SOE office. graham the grey cable, bluey the blue cable, faith and hope, but no charity.
circuitous chin-lift cable, in housing; I hope the glue holds, because I didn't bother to build proper stops for the housing
Finally off the needles! Brooke's sweater was knit in bursts of activity and in between projects. I was going a little cable and bobble crazy. Cool, spring weather quickly turns to very warm temperatures in the Southwest so this sweater was speaking to me loudly as of late. I was almost finished when I noticed a giant mistake in the cable pattern at the BEGINNING of the second arm (the last piece of the sweater before finishing) ... having to unravel the entire arm and start over wasn't the funnest thing I ever did. Even then I had to argue with myself for almost 45 minutes before conceding. I made the sweater large so she can wear it in the fall and winter. Picot bind offs take so long when you are finally reaching the end! The sweater is off the needles. Wish I could say it is ready to wear, I still have to seam it up and tuck in those ends.

¡Al fin! Se acabaron (tocamos madera) los suplicios del wifi inestable, de la conexión vía móvil y la desesperación del límite de subida de Kolejní y vuelvo a tener una conexión de verdad (de verdad de verdad, no de verdad de las de España) para mi uso y ¡vuestro disfrute!

I think this is the barge laying electric cable the length of Lake Champlain to supply New York City with Canadian power.

Factory built in around 1912 for local man Harold W. Smith, specialising in cables and cabling for the mining industry. One of only four works in the country that could produce braided electrical cables at the outbreak of the First World War, as a result was awarded contracts from the Ministry of War producing parts for the 'D mk III' field telephone.
The workforce grew from 40 [1912] to 650 as well as works operating on a double shift pattern for the duration of the war. By 1918, 15,000 miles of electrical cable had been produced.
Post war slump resulted in the 'H. W. Smith & Co' works going into administration. Works bought by 'Edison Swan Electric Co' [later 'Associated Electrical Company' and Siemens] to produce power lines cabling.
During the Second World War, the works had [again!] one of the four machines in the country able to produce lead tubes. These tubes were used in the construction of 'PLUTO' 'Pipe-Line Underwater Transportation of Oil' / 'Pipe-Lines Under the Ocean' which were fuel lines between the Isle of Wight and France to support the invasion of Normandy, 'Operation Overlord'.
The cable works closed in 1966 and was bought by a paper & cardboard company 'Reed Paper Group' who manufactured packaging.
The factory closed in the mid-1990s.
