TEST INSTALLATION 



The installation was tailored to the accommodations 

 available on the test vessel. The winch was mounted near 

 the stern sheave (FiguiE II-5) , and the cable led from the 

 winch by means of a roller and trough system to a large 

 powered storage reel in the forward cable well. 



The winch was mounted with the open side of the tracks 

 facing the starboard side. The centerline of the tracks 

 was canted relative to the centerline of the stern sheave 

 by that amount required to make the extension of the 

 centerlines intersect at a small angle, in azimuth^ at the 

 location of the vertical guide roller mounted on the after 

 end of the winch. The winch was thus placed in a bight of 

 the cable, so that the load on the cable tended to force it 

 into the tracks. 



The after guide-roll assembly is shown in Figure II-3. 

 The two horizontal rollers serve to orient the fairing for 

 entry into the tracks; the upper roller is hinged to permit 

 passage of the stops or modules. In operation, the trailing 

 edge of the fairing is turned away from the vertically 

 oriented guide roller (Figure II'S (a) ) . The cable is shown, 

 in Figure II-6, passing through the forward fairing guide 

 rollers and about the forward transfer roller; frcxn the 

 forward transfer roller to the cable trough in Figure II-7; 

 forward to a second set of transfer rollers. Figure II-8; 

 and thence into the cable well^ Figure II-9.
