I found that the twist caused by winding on the arm can be resolved by moving the orientation (direction) of the cable on the arm every a 'few' winds. By reversing the orientation of the cable on the arm you alternately put in twists, and undo twists as you wind the cable. I too was taught to put a knot on the cables, I learned this in the 1970's working as a stage hand, and still rely on this method without damage to cables. bret __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
