Cable Eater Troubling
FAA In Alaska
Add to the maintenance and
communications problems of the
Federal Aviation Agency in Alas
ka the “brown-haired, long-nosed
Yakutat Cable Eater.”
The Cable Eater (brown bear),
inhabits the southeast coastal
areas of Southeast Alaska near
Yakutat, where the FAA has more
than its due of difficulty in getting
good and adequate communica
tions with Seattle over the gla
ciers, mountains and fjords that
make up the rugged coast line.
He’s a good animal for hunting,
and tourists squeal with delight
when they can see him, but his
new fondness for the black, chewy
insulation used for splicing cable
has cause two serious interrup
tions to vital airways service
recently.
It took Clarence L. Moddison,
FAA trouble shooter, several
hours of exploration to find the
trouble in the first case. He used
Wheatstone bridges, Murray
Loops, Tone sets and a lot of
scientific whatnot and finally es
timated the trouble was 4,000 feet
from the station at a point where
there was a splice above ground,
while most of the cable was under
18 inches of frozen ground covered
by four to five feet of snow. Bear
tracks and teeth marks in the
jute and tar sheathing were un
[ scientific indications of the
trouble. The Cable Eater had
chewed on the sheathing'and had
mashed wires and insulation to
gether until he had caused com
plete failure.
“I figure he missed a surprising
2400-volt shock by about 3/16 of
an inch,” Moddison wrote in his
report.
