Abstract
An Endoscope having at least one control cable wherein a helically wound cylindrical spring is passed over one end of the cable and is crimped into deforming contact against the cable. Melted solder is flowed over and through the spring to wet the spring and the cable surfaces. The solder is allowed to solidify thus creating a strong joint between the cable and the spring.
