Abstract
In the manufacture of electrical cable and after a core wrap is applied to the cable core, the core wrap is moved downstream and is held in a closed position around the core by a retaining member which holds edges of the wrap in overlapped relationship. The core wrap is held closed to enable it to be covered in its closed condition by a jacket. The retaining member is movable and is shaped so that during movement into different positions of orientation, it will maintain its function of holding the core wrap closed.
