Abstract
An extensible mast has a computer control for automatically deploying guy cables. As the mast is raised, the cables are deployed at a rate which retains the proper geometric relationships of the system. The system initially calculates the relative locations of the mast and cable anchor points, which can be placed in convenient locations. A winch suitable for use with the system measures the tension on deployed guy cables and the length of cable which has been unwound from the winch drum.
