Re: How do those winch-loaded shooters work?

At the $350 price for the super shifters, they are pretty out of our league.
I am opting towards the rachet type things however, could someone show me an example of how to disengage the pawl?

I'm not really sure how I could setup a rachet and pawl so that it wouldn't want to unwind the motor as my cable unwinds.
Care to elaborate? I was trying to think of a realworld machine that uses something like this, but I have come up with nothing.
