Abstract
A head for laying optical fibres in a helically grooved cable core consists of a freely rotating mount assembly carrying fibre guides inclined on the axis of travel of the core with an angle smaller than 45.degree.. The fibre guides are elastic hollow tubes ended by a bevel maintained on the bottom of the associated groove. An optical control unit is provided for correct positioning of the mount when starting to lay.
