<p>FAIRING SECTIONS A fairing 13 for an element is made up of body sections 17. Each body section 17 comprises a moulded plastics body which has an open recess or hollow 18 along its leading edge 19. The body section 17 becomes slightly wider to the rear of the leading edge 19 and then increasingly rapidly decreases inside along a smooth curve until reaching a trailing portion 20 which thins, at a much slower rate, to edge 21. The mouth of the hollow 18 is defined by lips 23 which are dimensioned to straddle a trailing portion of the cable 12. In use,the body section 17 automatically aligns along the line of movement of the cable 12 and the body is held against the cable. The arrangement is such that the body sections will compensate for sidewards forces or drags.</p> |
