Abstract
Cable is stored a receptacle by a coiling mechanism. In the coiling mechanism, an arm receives the cable at an axis, and supports the cable as it passes from the axis to a feed end located at a point radially spaced from the axis. A cable driver forces the cable into the arm at the axis and toward the feed end. And an arm driver assists rotation of the arm about the axis while the cable is being forced into the arm at the axis.
