Abstract
A mechanical spacer for locating electrical cables and strain ropes within the outer sheath of a towed acoustic array. The spacer has arcuate strip sections 10 joined by intervening portions 11 which form radially outwardly facing U-shaped recesses 12. Electrical cables are laid loosely in the center part of the spacer, located if required by projecting support webs 15. Strain ropes are secured in the recesses 12 by spring clips (not shown). Resilient tubular structures 14 are formed on the web sections 10 to locate the spacer within the towed array sheath 20.
