ABSTRACT:
A system for storing and deploying a number of elements sequentially in connected but spaced-apart relationship is described. Adjacent elements are joined together temporarily by connectors which overlay adjacent elements. The connectors are bound to the elements by a plurality of cables, one of which is wound around each element and the overlying connectors. One end of each cable is connected to the element around which it is wound and the other end is connected to the next preceding element. When tension is applied between the cable of the first element and the last element, for example, by connecting an underwater tug to the cable and connecting a drogue to the last element, the cables unwind one by one releasing the connectors and extending the elements in a straight line, spaced apart by the length of the connecting cables.
