Abstract
Abstract A power driven rotatable antenna cable storage drum (16) has a driven worm gear (18,20) formed circumferentially about one end of its periphery. The drum is supported for rotation on two axially aligned equal diameter posts (32,34). One of the post (32) is integral with the housing and the other post (34) is integral with the housing cover (12). The cover post (34) is spaced from and radially aligned with the driven worm gear.
