ABSTRACT:
A cable supply and take-up for a computed tomography scanner. An annular take-up reel coacts with a cable trough configured in the shape of a segment of an annulus. The trough and guide together provide a cable slack confining space which is rectangular in cross section along any radial plane.
The trough is open at its ends. Cable is fed from a stationary external supply through one of the trough open ends and along a cable support wall to a return bend that feeds the cable to engagement with a take-up wall of the guide.
A cable bend control spongy disc provides a spring force which urges the cable into engagement with both the guide take-up wall and the trough support wall while maintaining a bend with a substantially smooth and uniform radius of curvature.
