Abstract
An apparatus for winding and unwinding cables has at least two rotatable drums. At least one cable can be wound onto or unwound from each of these drums. The drums are connected by a coupling linkage such that both the drums either wind or unwind the respective cables simultaneously. An arrangement cooperating with the coupling linkage effects winding of the unwound cables.
