ABSTRACT:
A flexible shaft in which the interior rotating cable is formed of links having first and second loops formed of wires or bands that have a maximum diameter slightly less than the inside diameter of the outer non-rotating shell. The second loop of one link is linked to the first loop of the adjacent link to provide a very flexible shaft or cable with a minimum of friction.
