ABSTRACT:
A drum-type apparatus for feeding and retrieving electrical signal cable, having an intermediary reel and cable arrangement for preventing torsional cable stresses anywhere between the drum and the output circuitry. The reel is coaxially mounted with the drum, and rotates simultaneously therewith. A ribbon cable is coiled in layers around the reel, and has one end connected to the tail end of the signal cable such that the connection rotates in unison with the drum and reel. Preferably, a housing is provided around the reel to maintain the concentricity of the ribbon cable layers. As the drum rotates, the average effective diameter of the ribbon cable coil changes without causing torsional stresses.
