>>>>What is this "double jacket cable"
mentioned by the firefighters who rescued the window cleaner? The fire chief was quoted as saying, "His double
jacket cable, the exterior jacket’s cable, had failed," but not the
interior cable. <<<< It is a type of rope that has two parts to
it. A braided core that provides the strength and an outer wrapping that
protects and provides a more uniform and smooth surface. It appears that the
outer layer failed and jammed his rope grab or his descent control device. Eric Swardstrom Fish Window Cleaning |
