HANGER Aim STOP SEP Drawing No. 101136 



Each section of fairing is teiminated at a hanger, to 

 which it is secured by means of a rivet passed through the 

 eye of the loop described above. An alternate hanger, used 

 during sea trials, permits the Dacron cording to be termi- 

 nated without the loop, thus affording a technique for 

 effecting repairs in the event the fairing is ruptured 

 or an eye pulled out. 



The general arrangement of the developed hanger is 

 shown in Figure 2. The principle of operation is similar 

 to that of the alternate hanger shown on Figure 5. The hanger 

 spans a stop which serves to transmit the hydrodynamic load 

 of the fairing into the cable for those lengths of cable 

 fitted with modules spaced more than 200 feet apart. For 

 module spacings of 200 feet or less, the hanger is attached 

 to the module and is free to swivel with respect thereto. 



As may be seen on Figure 5, the stop is simply a split, 

 friction-type clamp with sufficient clearance between the 

 halves to permit them to bear on the cable when bolted 

 together. A resilient elastomer pad is placed between the 

 stop and cable to aid in maintaining the clamping pressure 

 when the cable diameter decreases under load. A sand- 

 impregnated polyur ethane liner <, developed by the David Taylor 

 Model Basin, is used for this purpose. Self-locking bolts 

 are used to secure the two halves.
