Not sure where to put this question, so will try here.
Does anyone have a pic or more information on the Miller Cable Bridge. All I have found so far on a google is below.
Dates from the 1960's, trialled by the Brits I think, and was told about Aussie Acco's using this system as a training excercise many moons ago. Had thought that that the vehicles were towed across, but apparantley they could drive over themselves.
"Some ideas are more practical than others.
While hovercraft were gaining converts and applications, the Miller bridge would cause only a small blip on the radar of military innovations.
Developed by an Australian officer, it offered a low-cost, easy-to-construct (and just as rapid to dismantle) method of crossing river and ravine.
The cable bridge, based on two steel wires less than an inch thick, could replace the obiquitous 80-tonne Bailey bridge . . . it was hoped.
A Land Rover, fitted in five minutes with flanged hubs designed to clip onto the cables, was wheeled out and sent on its way to the far bank."

Be an interesting thing to watch, wonder how they volunteered a driver....
