ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for detecting a twisted pair (21) of conductors includes contact means (60) in the form of a generally semi-circular rocker. One diametrical end portion of the rocker rides on portions of the twisted pair of conductors as they are advanced over a sheave (34). The opposite diametrical end portion of the rocker is caused to be supported in alignment with a sensor (81). Should one of the conductors be missing, perhaps because of a break or equipment malfunction, the rocker is no longer caused to be maintained in a position such that the opposite end portion is aligned with the sensor. This causes the sensor to provide a signal indication of a break and because of its changed position to provide a visual indication to an operator.
