И верить хочется, так верить хочется, что эта нить не оборвётся...

Если верить израильскому журналу Маарахот, номер 142 (март 1962), этот "мост Миллара" позволял пересекать 60-с-чем-то-метровые препятствия; состоял из 140 метров троса, колышков для закрепления оного и штуковин, привинчивавшихся к ступицам; всё вместе весило 730 кг.

Вот ещё информация плюс видео 1961-го года, по наводке sharel:

Looking very much like a circus animal walking a tight-rope, an Army jeep recently demonstrated the potentiality of a new bridge system invented by an Australian Army engineer. Across the Perak River in Central Malaya, engineers of the 28th Commonwealth Brigade tested the system while on a road building project through the jungles. Designed by Captain Frederick Millar, the "Driving on air" system consists of two steel cables slung across a ravine - or minefield - and anchored on either side. Grooved steel discs, which fit snugly on the cables, are bolted to the hubs of the vehicle. The driver selects his gear, and drives confidently across the obstacle. Apart from the grooved disc adaptor, all the equipment used on the test was standard army equipment. As yet no plans have been made to mass produce the adaptors, but Captain Millar says they could be produced at probably less then GBP1 each.
