Abstract
To permit isolation of individual spooling units from a multiple-unit machine, in case of necessity of repair or the like, a common drive shaft extends through the machine which has individual clutch units thereon, controlling rotation of respective gears which, in turn, transmit power to the individual spooling units, that is, to their traverse as well as to their drive elements. The drive elements, or at least portions thereof, form single replaceable units, preferably secured to the cover of an oil pan providing lubrication for the mechanism of the driving and spooling units, the clutches being operated by external engagement, for example by tightening down a pin securing the cover in place on the machine.
