Abstract

A cross-winding machine comprises a winding mandrel and means for rotating the mandrel so that yarn supplied thereto is formed on the mandrel into a cross-wound package. Reciprocably movable doffing means transfer a wound package on the mandrel to a position which permits winding of a further package. A package support extends in alignment with the end of the mandrel and receives and supports packages successively doffed by the doffing means, thread severing means being provided which operate to cut thread between the mandrel and the package support.
