Based upon observations of antiphase boundary tubes that were connected to mixed super-dislocations, the concept that such tubes were trailed behind moving kinks was investigated. Evidence was presented which showed that the tubes originated, in particular, at the junction between a kink and a Kear-Wilsdorf lock. The mechanism which was proposed here for the formation of the tubes involved local relaxation via the short-range athermal climb of the connecting jog. When this had occurred, a straight antiphase boundary tube was then trailed conservatively by the moving kink.
