Zusammenfassung:A spool tension system is disclosed for a spooled multi-line elongate carrier connected between a ground vehicle and a spooling apparatus, in order to connect the ground vehicle to services. A terminal of the ground vehicle is coupled to one end of the elongate carrier via a sensing arrangement which is arranged to provide a signal indicating tension at the end of the elongate carrier. The spooling apparatus is arranged to spool the elongate carrier in response to the signal, such that the tension in the elongate carrier is regulated during movement of the ground vehicle.
