Abstract
A control device to prevent or limit gangion enwrapment on long lines including means mounting a line-deflecting guide roller to vary the angular relationship between the roller axis and the plane defined between the line stretches extending to and from the deflecting roller during line hauling. Angular displacement of such guide roller to either side of a neutral position under operator control induces twisting in the approaching long line one way or the other so as to prevent or eliminate gangion enwrapment.
