This machine records the length of cable passing from the ship's hold to the storage tanks in the GPO yards at Wellington. Below, workmen stowing cable in a tank beneath the hauling machine to await the arrival of the cable-laying ship Recorder, which will lay it in Cook Strait. The deep-sea section of the table weighs 11½ tons per mile, and the heavily-protected shore ends 15 tons per mile.
