For this purpose twochannel arms, extending out behind the wagon, arefastened on the rear of the wagon frame. These sup-port between them a shaft on which this storage wheelis mounted. This shaft is connected by a long chainand sprockets to the motor, and the cable may thus bewound directly on the storage reel. This outfit also finds many other uses in the linework. A niggerhead is mounted on the end of thereel shaft, and is used for raising and setting steelpoles, and any gin-pole work, etc. With these various. POWER-DRIVEN CABLE REEL- MOUNTED ON WORK CAR
