Abstract

A spinning- or twisting-machine has an elongated spindle bank, a row of rotatable spindles supported on the bank, respective individual drive motors on the bank for each spindle, respective electrical control circuits connected to the respective motors and electrically energizable to power the respective motor, and a plurality of electricity-supply conductors extending along the bank past the spindles. A respective housing support part for each spindle carries the respective electrical control circuit and is provided with electrical-input contacts. A mount engaged between the housing part and the spindle bank allows movement of the housing part on the bank between a closed position in which it surrounds and protects the respective circuit and in which the contacts conductively engage the supply conductors and an open position in which it exposes the respective circuit and disengages the contacts from the supply conductors.
