The cables here are fed into the Signum cable trunking system attached to the underside of the desk.

Taken in October 1978.
Judging by the way the people on this cable car are dressed -- and because the guy in the white shirt is carrying his lunch -- they're probably using it to commute to work. In other words, they're San Franciscans, not tourists. I did the same thing ten years earlier (in the 60s) and on the same line (Powell-Hyde). But my ride started on Jackson Street, not here on Powell at Union Square.

Shot for Rydale Country Clothing. I decided to shoot a stack of sweaters tumbling over partly in response to all of the very neatly stacked garments photographed by other brands.
On 4th. October 1936 anti-fascists clashed with police overseeing a march by Oswald Moseley's British Union of Fascists. In the 1980s this mural was painted on the side of St. George's Town Hall, Shadwell, to commemorate "The Battle of Cable Street".
Lambton
The line consists of 628 metres (2,060 ft) of mostly straight 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in) gauge single track with pine sleepers. The only curves are at the passing loop in the middle, at Talavera station. Except for the lowest part the line rises at a constant grade of 1 in 5.06 (17.86%), through three tunnels and over three bridges.
The lower terminus is in Cable Car Lane, off Lambton Quay (41°17′03.3″S 174°46′28.7″E). The upper terminus is next to the Wellington Botanic Garden at the city end of Upland Road, Kelburn's main street (41°17′07.25″S 174°46′04.17″E). There are three other equally-spaced stations—from Lambton Quay, they are Clifton, Talavera and Salamanca (also referred to as University), all named after nearby streets.
Cars and propulsion
Control panel in one of the cable cars.
The Cable Car has two cars, which start from opposite ends of the line and pass in the middle. They are attached to each other by a 30 mm diameter cable, supported by 120 rollers, which runs round a pulley at the top of the hill. A 185 kW 550 V DC motor at the top of the hill drives the pulley. The Cable Car is a funicular rather than a true cable car: the cars are permanently attached to the cable, which stops and starts as required, while a cable car grips and releases a continuously-moving cable. Wheels on the south side of car 1 and the north side of car 2 have double flanges, while the opposite wheels on each car have no flanges, directing the cars to the correct side of the mid-way passing loop at Talavera.
The cars are designed to fit the grade, using internal steps to provide horizontal floors.
The normal operating speed is 18 km/h (5 m/s), with a maximum passenger load of around 100 (30 seated, 70 standing). Each car weighs approximately 13.5 t when empty and 21 t when full.
Inside the HH MA100 amplifier I found this example of the "lost art" of cable lacing. The amp was made in 1974 and also has a superb electroluminescent front panel.
The cable car leaves the Plan de l'Aiguille station on it's way to the summit of Aiguille du Midi.
This is the highest vertical ascent cable car in the world and for many years was the world's highest cable car. The two section journey climbs from Chamonix at 1,035m to the 2,317m station at Plan de l'Aiguille. From there it's one span to the summit station at 3,777m with no support pillars. Once there an elevator climbs inside the mountain to the summit platform, 3,842m (12,605ft) above sea level.
