It not only launches the necessary cables, but it tightens them up so that they're at the correct length and tension for swinging on.... oh... oh. I know what it is now! :) It's a high wire act installer and tautener... like the ones used to waddle on across Niagara Falls. ID: 1740307 ·

Betreger - no Gary - maybe (I know where their HQ is, only about a thousand miles from where I sit, not five thousand...) I believe that is only a sales office in Suffolk, the manufacturing plant is in Mankato, Minnesota, at least that is what their website says. ID: 1740334 ·

I thought Annie might (just) get there first. It is indeed a (Tesmec) high voltage cable stringing & tensioning machine. Tesmec are an Italian company, and have a joint operation in the US with Condux, based in Mankato, MN. In the UK we have to contact their HQ in Italy for support and service.

Ok I found a tool but how do I insert the picture? The image needs to be hosted at some place like imgur as SETI does not allow attachments. Then you will use the [ img ]image url[ / img ] Without the spaces of course. ID: 1740688 ·
