Abstract
This paper describes the development of cable machinery and control equipment capable of laying modern submarine cable systems. The necessity for reliable continuous operation is established, and the problems involved in gripping armorless cable are pointed out. The concept of a linear cable engine is introduced, and the evolution of a track design is followed through several model stages. The various test programs employed to establish feasibility, prove-in component reliability, and check performance of the final machine are discussed. A control philosophy is presented and the development of a control system is described. Final design, construction, and testing of the cable machinery and its control equipment are covered briefly.
