ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for carrying wires along a vehicle-mounted extensible mast. Said apparatus comprises a telescopically extensible mast and a wire carrier box mounted to a vehicle, a masthead platform mounted to an extreme of the mast opposite the vehicle, a bend-reversible wire carrier, and guides attached to the mast. The bend-reversible wire carrier is threaded through the guides. One extreme of the bend-reversible wire carrier is attached to the vehicle, and the opposite extreme is attached to the masthead platform. The bend-reversible wire carrier comprises clockwise bends alternating with counterclockwise bends separated by bend-reversible wire carrier sections. The bend-reversible wire carrier sections, clockwise bends, and counterclockwise bends are sized to fit into the wire carrier box when the mast is retracted. The method includes the steps of sizing the bend-reversible wire carrier sections, clockwise bends, and counterclockwise bends to fit into the wire carrier box, laying wire into the bend-reversible wire carrier, attaching one end of the bend-reversible wire carrier to the vehicle, threading the bend-reversible wire carrier through the guides, and attaching an end of the bend-reversible wire carrier opposite the vehicle to the masthead platform. A heating means and bend-reversible wire carrier cover are also disclosed.
