Abstract
An apparatus is provided for forming a cylindrical package of wound strand having a radially outer surface with first and second edges and a central portion therebetween. The apparatus includes a rotatable collet for receiving the strand and winding the strand to build a package. A guide is mounted for reciprocation from edge to edge of the package to lay the strand in a helical pattern on the package surface as the package rotates. A roller bail mounted for contacting the surface as the package is being built for holding the strand in place on the package. The roller bail is divided into separate rollers with each roller contacting the package surface at one of the edges and not contacting the package surface at the central portion.
