Explanation:
Hi
An added answer here. In view of your later question, your customer seems to be involved with those travelling irrigation systems (or "rainers") wherein a moving "gun cart" is reeled in towards a stationary trailer-mounted hose reel, so the concept of rotary motion would be irrelevant in this case.
Cheers
Derek
