€¢ a supporting arm (9) which extends between said winding spindles (7, 8) and which is sufficiently spaced from said housing (6) to allow webs to be wound onto said spindle; said supporting arm (9) incorporating a first clamp (12) for attaching to the first spindle (7) and a second clamp (11) for attaching to the second spindle (8); and
