When used as a pipeline exposure device, the source capsule assembly is projected to the radiographic exposure position by means of a "push-pull" drive cable attached to the lifting at the rear of the exposure device. When the drive cable is in "push-in" position, the source capsule assembly compresses the retaining spring and moves forward to a window in the shielding. When the drive cable is retracted or "pull-back", the retaining spring recoils and moves the source capsule assembly back to the fully shielded position. 1, record 2, English, - push%2Dpull%20drive%20cable

Lorsque l'appareil sert à l'exposition d'un pipeline, la source est sortie au moyen d'un câble de commande de type «poussée et traction» qui est fixé au raccord à l'arrière de l'appareil. Lorsque le câble est en position «poussée», la source vient comprimer le ressort de retenue et se déplace jusqu'à la fenêtre d'exposition. Lorsque le câble est retiré, soit en position traction, le ressort de retenue se détend et renvoie la source en position blindée. 1, record 2, French, - c%C3%A2ble%20de%20commande%20de%20type%20pouss%C3%A9e%20et%20traction
