  • Patent number: 4014516
    Abstract: A span trolley detachably connectable to a line suspended between first and second poles to draw an end of a cord from the first pole to the second pole. Two guide wheels and a drive wheel, secured to a chassis, are resiliently urged into engagement with the line extending between the poles. The chassis is moved along the line by a reversible variable speed electric motor to draw a cord having an end connected to the chassis along the line. The resiliently mounted guide wheels are adapted to move transversely relative to the line such that the span trolley passes splices and other obstructions along the line and maintains the drive wheel in driving engagement with the surface of the line while obstructions are being traversed.
