Abstract

A wire-drawing machine, suitable for use in-line with an enamelling machine, comprises a plurality of individual wire-drawing capstans mounted in individual bearings, at least one for each capstan. The capstans are arranged in a substantially planar rectangular array (comprising rows and columns of the capstans) with their axes aligned with the rows thereof. A series of parallel drive shafts, each serve all the capstans of one row or one column of the array. The capstans of one column are associated with a single wire line whereas the capstans of any one row are associated with a corresponding drawing stage for all the wires lines.
