[ARC5] "Bowden" cables.

[J. Forster]

FYI, here's what Wiki has:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowden_cable

In scanning the article, the transmission of rotary motion is not
mentioned, so I'm inclined to think Bowden referrs to push-pull cables, as
used in bicycles, etc., only.

I've always called the tuning cables either 'spline cables' or 'spedometer
cables', but that means little.

Best,

-John
