Imagine a paddle-wheel with a V-shaped slot in the center of each paddle, with the V opening outward from the axis of the wheel. The cable would then be slung over the wheel so that the cable rests in the innermost point of the V. Each roller (they would probably have to have a diamond-shaped cross-section), with the cable threaded through them, would rest between paddles as the wheel turns.
