The 110 VAC Cable is strung inside the top rail of ladder Section 1, from rear to front (9). It returns to the
rear of Section 1 via a trough welded to the inside of the Section 1 rail (8). The cable is laid in the trough
and then passes under and over a canted compensating pulley (3) mounted at the rear of Section 2. This
pulley serves to change the direction of the cable from rear to front and to pass it from the inside of
Section 1 to the inside of Section 2.
A second trough is welded to the inside rail of section 2 (7) to receive the cable when the ladder is
extended. As the cable comes off the top of the compensator pulley (3), it passes through a curved
conduit (4) welded to Section 3. This conduit passes the cable from the outside of Section 3 to the inside,
and the cable is then strung through a conduit welded to the inside rail of Section 3 (5) to the front of the
ladder where it connects to the all-weather outlet (6).
6.4.5 Ladder Extended
When the ladder is extended, the cable is in the position illustrated in Figure 6-5.
As the ladder extends, Section 3 draws the cable over the compensator pulley (2) and it is thereby picked
up from the trough on Section 1 and is directed into the trough on Section 2.
