Abstract (en)
A depressor (16) for inserting a cable (4) into a trench (6) is disclosed. The depressor (16) comprises a plurality of cable shoes (22) adapted to be mounted to a support (18) and to engage the cable (4). Locating pins substantially prevent movement of the cable shoes (22) relative to the support (18) in a first direction as a result of movement of the cable shoes (22) relative to the cable (4) in an axial direction of the cable (4). A load cell provides an output dependent on a force applied to the cable shoes (22) in a second direction transverse to the first direction.
