Abstract
In order to improve the fatigue resistance of a cable, particularly a rubber adherable cable for reinforcing rubber articles such as vehicle tires, substantially uniformly distributed residual compressive stress is induced in substantially the complete peripheric zone of the wires making up the cable. The stress may be induced by submitting lengths of the cable to a number of elementary bending--unbending operations in considerably different planes and simultaneously tensioning the cable.
