Abstract
Method and apparatus for winding wire on a double flanged spool by means of a single spooler wherein the wire is automatically carried from a feed roller toward the spindle by grasping the free end of an endless wire, guiding the grasped end in an orbital path about a spindle, until a portion remote from the wire is grasped by another means adjacent to the spindle and wire is then caused to be cast from the other grasping means over the end flange of the spool and onto the spool itself. Thereafter the wire is wound about the spool after which, the wire is automatically grasped and cut from the spool by the orbital means so as to restart a new cycle of winding.
