Abstract
An apparatus and method for winding cables onto a rotatably driven cable drum without gaps, an oncoming cable being wound in a new coil directly next to the preceding coil at the running-on point, and the running-on angle of the cable being corrected if a monitoring device finds a gap between the last coils. A marking that changes over time is applied to the cable by a marking device before it is wound, and in the marking is detected at least in the new coil and the preceding coil, it being possible for the new coil to be differentiated from the preceding coil.
