Abstract
A cable reeling system which provides means to control the tension applied to a cable during rereeling including a reel having an axle supported by members mounted upon a first skid which also supports a drive motor for such a reel. The first skid is mounted upon a second, longer, skid to which is coupled by 4 links so as to aligned the skids adjacent their first ends. A tension gauge is mounted on second skids adjacent to its second end and coupled to the first skid at its second end to measure the actual tension between first and second skid which is related to the tension applied to the cable by the reeling system.
