for assembly-line techniques. In particular, 

 riveted rather than screw-type fasteners were 

 selected for the attachment of the clips to the 

 fairing, to speed the operation. A looped-end- 

 type construction was selected for termination 

 of the Dacron-cord reinforcement to simplify 

 construction of the hangers and reduce the number 

 of fasteners required to secure the fairing to the 

 hangers. 



4. Resistance to excessive stretching or bunching 

 under hydrodynamic loading 



The problem of stretching and excessive accumu- 

 lation of fairing at the lower end of the cable 

 was solved by suspending the fairing in short 

 lengths between hangers attached to the cable.

Estimate of Tangential Load 



In order to select the optimum length of fairing 

 between cable stops, and to determine the loading that 

 the cable stops and hangers must sustain, an estimate 

 of the tangential component of the hydrodynamic drag on 

 the cable fairing had to be made. In estimating this load,
