Here's a picture of a late 80's Doppelmayr PTO setup:

Well, it does make the whole assembly more compact I suppose but the main reason for the slanted bullwheel is to get it and the haul rope out of the way, you wouldn't want slow moving grips rubbing against components moving at line speed.

On older Pomas the return terminal is driven thusly: the bullwheel drives a chain, which in turn drives a right-angle gearbox which then turns a driveshaft. This then turns another gearbox which splits power into two more driveshafts each turning another gearbox. These drive a final four shafts which turn the tires. Confused yet?

Once I see the visual I get it. But without it is makes no sense.

The gear splits into another set of gears driving the wheels, and then another set that moves into a system of tires that the chain loops around in (I chose a chain for the turnaround because tires seemed a bit tricky for me)
