Abstract: A mounting arrangement for a shipboard cable engine for the laying or recovery of submarine cables is described. A respective mounting chassis is provided for each module of a plurality of modules containing cable traction and guide elements for arrangement in tandem fashion. The chassis are rigidly secured to each other end to end and are provided with vertical leaf springs attached to deck mountings in the form of pedestals and with horizontal leaf springs attached to the deck at their mid-points. At each of the two ends of the tandem connected chassis a respective resistance strain gauge load cell is provided connected to the deck. Signals from the strain gauges are added algebraically to indicate the tension in a cable being laid or recovered. Compensation for the pitching of the ship can be provided by use of a resiliently mounted pendulum.
