Abstract
An apparatus for correcting irregularities in a moving textile strand utilizes sensors B and C making measurements reflecting variations in capacitance of a moving textile strand, and a computer E supplying data reflecting the characteristics of the strand as a result of varying moisture content in a similar strand for reducing the effect of moisture contained in the strand upon the measurements and upon an autoleveller controlling the strand in response to said measurements.
