Abstract
To provide yarn cops to textile machines in predetermined, uniform alignment and orientation of the yarn cops, typically to supply yarn cops to spooling or spinning machines, the diameter of the core ends of the yarn cops is sensed and a difference signal obtained. This difference signal is stored, mechanically or electrically and, when a cop is required to be fed to the spinning machine, the stored difference signal is transferred to an orientation alignment apparatus, typically a pair of pins which retain the cop in horizontal position and, upon withdrawal of a selected one of the pins, permit the cop to drop into a delivery chute, selectively, with the selected end first, to deliver the cop in properly oriented alignment to the textile machine, that is, typically to the spooling or spinning machine.
