Abstract
The chairs or the cabins of an overhead cable transport installation are driven on a transfer rail in a station by means of friction sheaves staggered along the travel circuit and interconnected by a belt drive arrangement. The rotational movement of the friction sheaves is derived from a cable support sheave by means of a movement take up module, having a girder like box secured adjacent to the girder which supports the friction sheaves. This module has a belt pulley interconnected to a belt pulley of the cable support sheave and a cog-wheel transmission between this belt pulley and the friction sheave,
