Abstract
A system for delivering separator material to a drum upon which optical waveguides are wound. The sheet material is delivered to the vicinity of the drum through a partially-enclosed guide and cut to length. Air jets are provided for urging the severed sheet material against the drum so that a succeeding layer of waveguides can be wound upon it.
