Abstract
Groups of amorphous steel strips, cut to appropriate length from a composite strip, are stacked in longitudinally-staggered relationship to form packets. The groups are made up by a process that comprises a pre-spooling operation that results in the strips and groups in each packet adhering together, even though dry. The individual packets are fed successively into a belt nester that includes a rotatable arbor and wrapping means that wraps the packets in superposed relationship about the arbor as the arbor rotates, thereby building up a hollow core form. The above-described adhesive effect precludes the strips and groups from shifting longitudinally while the packets are being wrapped about the arbor.
