Abstract
A guide device for a wireline spooler having an axis. A carriage is spaced from the spooler with the carriage including an upstanding fairlead to receive a wireline. A first mechanism reciprocates the carriage laterally parallel to the spooler axis. A second mechanism raises and lowers the carriage in a direction vertical to the first mechanism. The first and second mechanisms operate independently of each other and operate independently of a drive mechanism for winding the wireline.
