Abstract
A method and apparatus for winding an elongate member, such as a strip or wire, under tension around a body comprising a frame maintained at a preset distance from the body and movable around the body by means including a belt held against rotation relative to the body and two belt engaging members each selectively adapted to be clamped against and released from the belt. One of the belt engaging members is fixed relative to the frame and the other of the members is movable relative to the frame in a first direction when the one member is engaged with the belt and in the opposite direction when the other member is engaged with the belt to move the frame relative to the body. The frame carries a guide for guiding the elongate member onto the body and a mechanism for tensioning the strip as it is wound on the body.
