Talk:Arrestor cable

Moved from "Arrestor wires" to "Arrestor cables"
"Cables" is a much more accurate term, and will get rid of all the "wires/cables" confusion in the article.

Additionally, Google shows:
 * 674 for "arresting cables"
 * 610 for "arresting wires"
 * 371 for "arrestor wires"
 * 5,040 for "arrestor cables"

Mechanism
This would be really interesting to see a little more of the mechanism that tensions the cable.

Merge proposal
I am proposing that Arrestor cable and Arresting gear be merged into a single article, as they are on an identical subject. I do concede that the 'cable' article is specifically naval and the 'gear' article is more general, but the size of both articles does not require this to be dealt with on two different pages. Thoughts? -- saberwyn 01:53, 17 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree. The merged article would have to be at arresting gear as that is the more general term.  Perhaps tailhook could be merged in too. FiggyBee (talk) 08:40, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
