Cable Tow
A cable tow is a rope or line for drawing or leading. A compound word of Masonic coinage combining cable (a rope) and tow (a rope for pulling). Symbolically, it represents the covenant by which all Masons are bound; the tie by which the candidate is bound to his brethren; the length of a Mason’s cable tow is the scope of his ability to go to the relief of a Brother in need.

Great question. I believe my Cable Tow is extensive when it comes to a worthy brother. I try my best to aide and assist any and all brethren when asked, and for the most part this is reciprocated. I think when we begin to practice masonry in its truest form, operating on whom can best work and agree, then we have truly received more light.
