Abstract
In a staple wire supply system for use in connection with printing machinery or the like and of the sort having a fixed wire guide pipe past whose outlet end a knife is moved for cutting the wire down to the size needed for stapling, the time needed for the operation of changing over to a new reel of wire when one reel has run out may be greatly cut down by so designing the system that two reels may be supported thereon at a time and having a unit for running one wire from one such reel to the guide pipe and guiding the other wire into a ready or waiting position. Between this unit and the guide pipe there are two wire driving parts, such as pinch rollers acting on opposite sides of a capstan, which may be changed over in direction and may be used for moving wire from the two reels in oposite directions at the time of reel changing.
