Safety Cables...

[NeverAnonymous]

"Can" indicates ability; "May" indicates permission; "Will" indicates a future event.

Or you can use can in it's secondary form as a verbal modifier. (Basically makes can the same as may, but less formal)

My personal pet peeve is when the safety is passed through the yoke on the side of the tilt handle. If you take a c clamp off, make sure the safety stays on the side of the instrument without the tilt handle (source fours mostly here).

Derek, your figure 8 style is interesting, but isn't that similar to just wrapping the pipe twice? It still gets tangled up if you spin the light 180.

Assuming that I am picturing this right, if you spin it 180, the figure 8 should unravel and just be a loop. Continue spinning and you get back to a figure 8. This way you have a 360 degree range of motion. So just make sure you rotate the fixture the correct direction.
