                                   THE INVENTION                                      

               The invention relates to “surgical consoles and, more                  
          particularly, to panel displays used on microsurgical consoles”

               a) a body having an exterior;                                          
               b) a panel display mounted to the exterior of the body by an           
          articulation mechanism, the articulation mechanism allowing for             
          movement of the panel display along at least three axes wherein             
          the articulation mechanism includes at least one spindle                    
          assembly: and                                                               
               c) a helical cable wrap contained in the spindle assembly.             

                                   THE PRIOR ART
