The latest ice coring drill built at Icefield Instruments Inc. is on its way to Law Dome, Antarctica. This is an 82mm drill with 500m of steel cable on the winch. Note that the drum is designed so that the transmission can be removed by loosening only six bolts - the cable need not be removed from the drum.
