Paul,  I would like to operate the louvers with a cable but have not
been able to find any information on how much load the various cables
can  handle .  The heavier (of two sizes) SS wire core  is .076 dia.

Further,  I have no idea how much force is generated by a 13.5" x
8.5" louver opened 45 degrees at 200 mph.

In my application when the louvers are opened the cable is in
tension.   Any light you can shed on these mysteries ( to me) would
be most appreciated.     Jerry

Try this outfit. These things are called "controls"
That would be one of your key search words.
