Abstract
In a winding machine for the continuous winding of flexible material, first and second independently operable spindles are mounted in spaced relation in operative relationship with a traverse guide for feeding the flexible material. First transfer arms are mounted for movement in a vertical direction parallel to the axis of the first and second spindles for engagement with the flexible material being wound thereon and second transfer arms are mounted for horizontal movement between first and second spindles for engagement of the flexible material. The first and second transfer arms are controlled such that flexible material is transferred from a completely wound spindle to the other spindle for continuous winding.
