Abstract
A wire winding system has a plurality of stations, each with a single take-up turntable driven by a variable speed motor. A mobile transfer cart is moveable to a selected station and is operable to effect transfer of the winding of wire from the full spool on the turntable to a take-up spool on the mobile transfer cart and then after the full spool at the turntable is removed and replaced by an empty spool, the mobile transfer cart will effect transfer of the winding of wire to the empty spool on the turntable. The take-up spool on the mobile transfer cart is constructed and arranged to have its effective outer diameter reduced in order to readily effect removal of the wire wound thereon after the wire is transferred to the empty spool on the turntable.
