Method of drawing large-size elongate cable for installation

摘要

A large-size elongate cable is continuously drawn from a container with a plurality of spaced cable drawing machines associated with respective slave controllers controlled by a master controller. A control signal is supplied from the master controller to the slave controllers to actuate the cable drawing machines at substantially the same variable speed for thereby drawing the electric cable from the container along a predetermined cable laying route. The speed at which the cable drawing machines are actuated may selectively be varied. A slack may be formed in the electric cable between two of the cable drawing machines which are closer to the container than the other cable drawing machines.
