A specialist tow cable termination for sustaining the tensile load when an object is towed at high speeds at the end of an cable behind an aircraft, the termination comprises a closed eye bolt attached to the cable and a U-bolt looped through the eye bolt attached to the object. The arrangement allows significant pivoting bending stresses to the tow cable.

Tow cable termination

A microwave filter having a temperature compensating element includes a housing wall structure, a filter lid, a resonator rod, a tuning screw and the temperature compensating element. The housing wall structure defines a cavity. The filter lid closes the cavity. The resonator rod is within the cavity. The tuning screw is adjustably mounted through the filter lid and has a portion that protrudes into the cavity and is coaxial with the resonator rod. The temperature compensating element is joined to the filter lid or the housing and forms a bimetallic composite with the filter lid or housing that deforms with a change in ambient temperature.
