System for selectively treating cables and the like
 There is disclosed a system incorporating aligned cylinders through which a cable is moved. The cylinders have jet nozzles connected to respective manifolds which are adapted for receiving different fluids for treating the cable. Control apparatus is provided for operating the cylinder stages simultaneously, and permitting manual selection of any one or combination of such operations. With fluid applied to all nozzles simultaneously, the cable is successively blast cleaned with water, jet dried with air, and jet lubricated with oil. Also shown is control apparatus adapted to control a motor for moving the cable through the cylinders. The air drying station includes nozzles for moving the air tangentially and from the exit to the entrance end of the air cylinder, for drying the cable and preventing water from the cleaning station from entering the drying station. The cylinders are split, with their halves mounted for pivotal movement on a base that houses the manifolds, and hose connections are made from the nozzles of each half to the associated manifold. Dump tubes are provided for the cleaning and lubricating cylinders, and control apparatus is shown for recycling oil from the lubricating cylinder.
