Abstract
A method of winding a core having slots of different angular distances from one another and/or different shapes is provided. The method includes using a flyer winder to wind turns of wire into a first portion of the slots having a uniform distance from one another, and then using a different flyer winder to wind turns of wire into a second portion of the slots having a uniform distance from another. In addition, back-up members may be used to evenly distribute the wire in the slots during winding. Specifically, concerning slots that have walls that diverge as they approach the center of the core, back-up members that also diverge as the slots are wound are provided.
