Abstract
To prevent undue bending and resultant cracking of cables that span movable bodies, the cable is fastened at a plurality of points along a flexible structure connecting the bodies. A detector determines the relative movement of the bodies and provides information to a control system for positioning and directing at least two of the fastening points so that the cable will bend substantially evenly in spaces between adjacent fastening points as the bodies move.
