The belt comprises a plurality of magnetic spring holderswhich are arranged in use to accept steel wire springsfrom the coiling machine. Each of the magnetic spring holders has a pair of ferro-magnetsfor holding the steel springs. The magnets are arranged such that identical poles are adjacent. The apparatus is arranged such that the magnets begin to attract the formed springs before they are cut from the length of wire by the spring coiling machine.
