In the manufacture of a rigid elongate member of resin bonded reinforcing elements, e.g. a resin bonded glass fibre rod, reinforcing elements are passed through an apertured guide and are secured to one of two hook means spaced one vertically above the other. Elongate loops of the reinforcing elements are formed by effecting vertical to and fro movement of the guide between the hook means, as the guide approaches each hook means in turn the guide partially rotating said hook means so that the elements are wound over it. One hook means is rotatably driven with respect to the other hook means to twist the elongate loops together to form a skein in which the twisted reinforced elements are held under tension between the two hook means. The skein is then cured.
