I was curious about the design of the position indicator and the reason
for the apparent blank spot below the numbers 14, 15, and 16.
After increasing the size of the image I could see the word "NEVSTUPUJ".
This is similar to the word "NEVSTUPOVAT" seen on the sign hanging across the car entrance.
I did an internet search and I believe it means something like "Keep Out" or "Do Not Enter"

Don Rosenberger sent in this excellent image of wire rope wear.
As Don mentioned in his e-mail - digital cameras provide us with:
(1) terrific documention - it's obvious we have a potential problem here and
a simple e-mail attachment will convince others of this as well
(2) sometimes you can see the area in question much better
once you go home, download and study the picture.
