Abstract
The disclosure embraces a method of and apparatus for simultaneously winding linear bundles of filaments, such as strands of glass filaments, in a filament-forming operation into two or more packages on a driven rotatable collet and the linear bundles or strands traversed by guide members axially of the packages, the progressively increasing sizes of the packages normally intermittently moving the traverse guide members away from the packages, and wherein an undersized package activates an instrumentality, indication or signal warning the operator of such condition and interrupting movement of the traverse means away from the packages.
