and 58 which permit member 38 to pass through plate 50 but reduce or prevent member 38 from turning or spinning independent of member 38 39 s relationship to or position in plate 50 one skilled in the art may recognize other such structures the structure and function of embodiments illustrated in fig9 a d are examples of means for substantially preventing the rotation of threaded member 38 and cable 20 when disposed through plate 50 the structure and function of embodiments illustrated in fig9 a d combined with projections 54 56 or 57 are examples of means for substantially preventing the twisting of cable 20 during tensioning that is the means for substantially preventing the twisting of cable 20 during tensioning reduces or prevents the undesirable twisting shortening and or lengthening of cable 20 during or after tensioning the present invention reduces or prevents back spin of the cable after release from the torquing tool these devices and techniques may also be used in certain mining operations that use cement grouting systems which require no mixing but utilize similar tensioning of a cable as depicted in fig4 and 10 the subject wall roof or floor of a geologic structure 70 is drilled to create drill hole 72 epoxy resin components are placed in hole 72 at the desired location assembly 10 preassembled and comprising cable 20 body 30 nut 40 and bearing plate 50 is placed such that cable 20 is inserted into hole 72 to a depth so a portion of cable 20 is inserted through or adjacent the epoxy resin components in hole 72 nut 40 is turned in the desired direction causing cable 20 to spin in hole 72 to mix the epoxy components to.
