utilizing cables of various diameters to simulate a range of 

 t/d ratios. Questions concerning the use of metal clips on 

 the fairing can be resolved at the same time. 



The remaining impediment, the high unit cost of cable 

 fairing, requires the development of mass-production techniques 

 and procurement orders for large quantities. It is understood 

 that a contract for the development of such techniques has 

 been awarded to the Marsh and Marine Company of Houston, 

 In consideration of the solution of many seemingly more complex 

 mass production problems, it appears reasonable to expect 

 success in this area.
