: Hi John,
: Off the top of m head.
: In the second pic, the rope had just taken up the slack/ stretch in the rope,
: this straightens the rope so makes the tube straighten a bit as well.
: In the third pic, the rope is forced to follow the tube curve and the inside
: of the curve is the shortest length in the system. This compresses the
: inside of the curve and forces it tighter.

: At least that's what the pictures in my head tell me. :D

: Mike Savage
: South West Cork

I think you are right Mike. It seems to make sense.
