A term to use at last!

Wished I talked to you before attacking my own. All sounded very clean.
Excellent stuff. (Gregory d'you read this in time or was this what
you'd already heard?)
Do you have any problem with my incorporating this into the final
text (shall post on the list for comment before handing over to
Ralph)?
>Wrapped tape around the whole thing...
With your ideas of removing the cable from within the strain relief,
and Jack Balauro's <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ideas for re-sealing the
case, reckon this is all leading to a rather tidy finish to the job.
-ps-
David, in your case, did you do anything to strengthen the cable at
that point where it usually fails? Any quick and equally 'clean'
ideas for spreading the load?
