Un manojo de cables neonatos que, a medida que vayan creciendo, se irán transformando en un manojo de enredos implacables, hasta enmarañarte las entrañas por completo...
Cable Car #25 sits at the base of Powell Street on the opposite end of the line waiting on passengers to run over to Market & Powell.
Shortly this car will depart and the 3 cars waiting, including Val's car will move forward to have their turn on the turntable.

Cables por todas partes, postes, transformadores... Al fondo, unos rascacielos que no pierden sus rasgos orientales
I love how this building soars above the rather poor quality private housing in the foreground... Don't get me started on the quoins, tiny astragalled windows, or the hipped roofs...
Cables Wynd House in contrast has dignity, presence and, from what I know, lighter, more spacious and generous flats inside... Yet that's the unpopular one? Says more about snobbery towards public housing than taste in architecture, I think.
The Conservation Area Character Appraisal kind of says it all: "Sheriff Bank and Park with their suburban layout, frequent changes in scale, miniaturised proportions and orange brick, do not reflect the traditional character." I know the banana flats don't either, but at least they have their own character ("a dramatic statement" according to the same document), rather than trying to copy something that never existed.
Historic Scotland, in their rather good little publication Scotland: Building for the Future state that "Cables Wynd House is one of the best examples in Scotland of the modern form of large deck-access housing".
Cable Beach is situated 7 km (4.3 mi) from town along a good bitumen road.
The waters off Cable Beach are crystal clear turquoise, and the gentle swells hardly manage to topple over as they roll up onto the almost perfectly flat beach. Four wheel drive vehicles may be driven onto the beach from the car park. This allows people to explore the beach at low tide to a much greater extent than would be possible on foot.
Sunset camel rides operate daily along the beach. Cable Beach is home to one of Australia's most famous nudist beaches. The clothes optional area is to the north of the beach access road from the car park and continues to the mouth of Willie Creek, 17 km (11 mi) away.
This was taken from a cable car going up the Aiguille du Midi in Chamonix. I really love the contrast of the red cars against the blue sky.
The Boy Scouts dug a trench through the woods and encased the cable in pipe to prevent it from being damaged by animals.
Cable for the Main Hoist on Big Brutus. The main host was operated by eight 500 horsepower, DC electric motors. There is 800 feet of wire rope (cable) on each side. The cable weighs approximately 25 pounds a foot. The main barrel and attached gears weigh a total of ninety-three and one-half tons.
Big Brutus is near West Mineral, Kansas. It is the second largest electric shovel in the world. It is 16 stories tall and weighs 11 million pounds. It was built in 1962 at a cost of $6.5 million by the Bucyrus Erie Company of Milwaukee. It was purchased by the Pittsburg & Midway Coal Mining Company of Pittsburg, Kansas. In 1974 it was silenced. Brutus has been open to tourists since 1985.

Verizon wants everyone still on the copper cables to be connected using their fiber optic cables. Me being still on copper they came and switched my connection to fiber optic. Here the tech is connecting the new line to my house.
Like lots of things in telecomms, the complex is made simple through defined and shared standards, combined with steady and patient work.
A 40-pair underground cable can look frighteningly difficult to terminate. However, each group of ten pairs is identified by a thin pvc band within the main sheath.
Then, within that ten pairs, there are two sets of "base colours". Then, within those base colours, there are key (band) colours of blue, orange, green, brown and slate (grey). With me so far?
Work slowly and calmly, separate each group with a cable tie (cheap, nasty, and horrible blue ones in this case). Et voilà! All ready to terminate.
I watched a 40-year telecomms veteran work through a 200-pair cable like this one morning at Loughborough on the Great Central Railway, and learnt much from his almost monastic calmness and knowledge of "the craft".
Oh, and I did this particular cable as practice one Saturday morning in order to prepare for when I might need to do this as part of "the day job" in the field. As well as actually managing to complete something on a weekend of "bitty" and potentially uncompleted jobs. And avoid starting said jobs...
