Abstract

The paper examines in particular the possibilities of using leader cables for establishing traffic lanes at sea. A brief history of the leader cable is given, followed by discussion of the components and variables in the system such as the cable itself, the energizing frequency and detection and indicating devices. The application of leader cables in the context of modern navigational conditions is then examined. An appendix gives a valuable list of some of the more important references on leader cables.
