Abstract
A revolving body (1) with a circumferential surface (2) and two end faces is provided for inserting twist into a midportion of a longitudinally moving elongate strand of filamentary material. In order to produce a revolving body into which the elongate strand can be introduced very easily and which is also suitable for automated introduction of the strand, this body is provided with a groove which is open towards the circumferential surface and the end face so as to take up the elongate strand in the region of a longitudinal axis and is configured to deflect the strand away from the longitudinal axis.
