The surface of a main cable, bare and wrapped

On the curved surface of a main cable, the thousands of parallel wires run lengthwise on the left, while on the right a tight wrapping of wire winds around them crosswise, the boundary between the two running down the middle. After compacting, the cables were wrapped with soft wire to protect them from the weather.
