Description

Black and white photograph of the Key West-Havana Cableship cable-laying barge. This picture provides a good view of the way that the eight mile length of cable was coiled on the barge, how it snaked up through the sheave (pulley) at the top, and then slid off the rear. In the foreground, Karry R. Kirkup, cable construction engineer and Larry R. Potadle, Division Three outside plant engineer, watch the operation.
