Sorry no. We were sinking a 29 foot diameter shaft down 2140 feet and the crosshead was the device that hung between the cables and guided the buckets and man cage from surface to hole bottom. I had communication devices on the crosshead to monitor status and provide coms. It used the cable as an antenna and I also used wifi antenna to send a camera feed back to surface from the crosshead also so we did that with a battery swap daily. I was trying to find a picture but i have the wrong phone on me.

I still haven't done a legit load test so I'm hesitant to believe it's fixed. I've seen it do well for a minute before. Lol. The signs are promising though. Tomorrow I should be home and have everything in place to test for some hours. (Fingers crossed)
