Strategy Acquisition for the Game "Othello" Based on Reinforcement Learning

A deflector for a cable transport system, wherein the cable is provided with a plurality of members each supporting a load, has a wheel rotatable about an upright axis and provided around its periphery with a plurality of angularly equispaced guides. Each such guide is carried on one end of a short arm pivoted itself on the periphery of the wheel so that the guides can be pushed to the side by the load-carrying members as they pass. The guides are small synthetic-resin sheaves which are rotatable about respective axes on their respective arms. The arms normally project radially inwardly of the wheel. In the case of a system wherein the arc of the deflection is flatter than the wheel curvature a cam is provided to array those guides in contact with the cable along the desired arc.
