Abstract
A continuous string of molded items is formed and advanced toward a winder, the latter being periodically rotated. A tensioner member takes-up slack in the advancing string when the winder is stopped. The biasing force applied to the tensioner is reduced during periods when the winder is rotated, in order to reduce the tendency for the string to be excessively stressed.
