Abstract

A textile yarn processing machine for winding yarn onto a bobbin tube provided with first and second slots angularly spaced around the periphery and extending from one end of the tube, wherein a running yarn, held by a yarn collection means, is engaged in the first and second slots and the tube is placed in the winding position to initiate winding of the yarn onto the tube. A yarn guide is positioned adjacent the end of the tube having the slots therein for guiding yarn withdrawn from the collection means onto the tube as the tube is rotated in the winding direction so as to form a reserve winding.
