Abstract
This flyer bow is for a machine used for twisting together communication cable wires to make conductor pairs, or twisting together large numbers of wires. The bow has a recess into which the twisted wires can nest and be held by centrifugal force in a position away from the windage caused by the rapid rotation of the bow in an orbital path. This prevents a loop from forming in the twisted wires as sometimes occurs in machines where windage overcomes the centrifugal force and wire tension. This invention permits operation of twisting machines with lower wire tension.
