dc.description.abstract	The mathematical expressions for the form of a heavy cable in a wind have been known for many years, but no systematic numerical results are available. Calculations have been made to derive a family of curves, depending on the weight-drag ratio of the cable, which should suffice to cover all practical problems, involving the towing of a heavy body. The use of the curves is illustrated by a typical numerical example.	en_US
