Abstract
An improved yarn supply package comprising a yarn package holder is provided with a first yarn waste bunch wound on the package holder at one end portion thereof and a second yarn waste bunch connected to the first waste bunch and wound on the package holder intermediate the first waste bunch and the opposite end portion of the package holder. A main yarn package is wound on the package holder a distance from the second yarn waste bunch and is connected thereto by a yarn transfer tail. A power cylinder-actuated yarn tailing mechanism and a control system for the automatic control of the operation of the tailing mechanism is disclosed wherein the rod end of the cylinder carries a first tailing pin for guiding the initial windings of yarn on the package holder to form the first yarn waste bunch. A second tailing pin is carried by a tailing pin head and is supported adjacent the piston rod so that it moves along a line parallel to the axis of the piston rod. The second tailing pin guides the yarn to form the second yarn waste bunch and the yarn transfer tail. A mechanism interconnects the piston rod and the tailing pin head to move the second tailing pin along its guiding path.
