Abstract

So as to eliminate wind dependent displacements in control cables such as are used in container loading facilities, the weight of the cable itself is increased. To this end, braided-over lead cords are arranged in the central elements of each conductor bundle and in the corner spaces of the core. The load-carrying capacity of the carrier member is ensured by high tensile strength plastic filaments in the form of a braid and optionally in the form of corner fillings.
