Nautical Cable
A nautical cable is a band of tightly woven and clamped ropes, of a defined cable length, used during the age of sail for deep water anchoring, heavy lifting, ship to ship transfers and towing during blue sea sailing and other uses. Waterproof lines Ordinary rope is not waterproof. When a ship anchors in relatively deep water (greater than about ), the anchor and rope that is let down becomes prohibitively difficult to raise again, even with a mechanism like a capstan. This ultimately limits the depths available with ordinary rope to within the weight bearing capacity of the rope. The rope will become so heavy with water it will break. The traditional instructions, according to the British Royal Navy in the age of sail, are: Three large strands of tightly woven rope of about in length are themselves tightly woven in a direction counter to the weave, [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cable Knitting
Cable knitting is a style of knitting in which textures of crossing layers are achieved by permuting stitches. For example, given four stitches appearing on the needle in the order ', one might cross the first two (in front of or behind) the next two, so that in subsequent rows those stitches appear in the new order '. Methods The stitches crossing behind are transferred to a small ''cable needle'' for storage while the stitches passing in front (or behind) are knitted. The former stitches are then transferred back to the original needle or knitted from the cable needle itself. Rather than use a cable needle, some knitters prefer to use a large safety pin or, for a single stitch, simply hold it in their fingers while knitting the other stitch(es). Cabling is typically done only when working on the right side of the fabric, i.e., every other row. This creates a ''spacer row'', which helps the fabric to relax. Cable knitting usually produces a fabric that is less flexible and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cable (foreign Exchange)
The term cable is a slang term used by forex traders to refer to the exchange rate between the pound sterling and US dollar. The term originated in the mid-19th century, when the exchange rate between the US dollar and sterling began to be transmitted across the Atlantic by a submarine communications cable. Since that time the exchange rate has been referred to as the cable. The first Transatlantic Cable was laid under the Atlantic Ocean in 1858, but it failed after only about a month of fitful service. The first truly successful cable across the Atlantic was completed in July 1866, reliably transmitting currency prices between the London and New York City Exchanges. The first such exchange rate to be published in ''The Times ''The Times'' is a British daily national newspaper based in London.

Cable (American Band)
Cable is an American band formed in 1994 in Rockville, Connecticut. They combine a hardcore punk and emo aesthetic with a rhythmically complex, often discordant metal-influenced musical approach.

History The quartet formed in 1994, at which time it consisted of Randy Larsen (guitar/vocals), Vic Szalaj (drums), Matt Becker (guitar), and Jeff Caxide (bass) and were players in Connecticut's "noise-core" scene. This line-up recorded a demo and appeared on a split 7-inch with Malcolm's Lost. Vocalist Aaron Lazauski joined the band briefly and appeared on the "Part Three"/"Feed Me Glass" 7-inch in 1995.
