Richard:

From google:

"It was invented by the Germans during the war to keep the British
minesweepers from catching the cables that held the German mines floating under the sea at a certain depth. With these "shaft
passers," the German cables could allow the British cables to pass
through as if they were going through a revolving door."

It's clear as mud to me.......

Hope this helps,

ROBERT M.
