The present invention differs from that of the aforementioned patent in at least the following significant respects: (1) The transfer mechanism is simplified by the use of only a single one transfer arm and a collector arm for each mandrel and does not require the mounting of respective transfer arms for respective vertical and horizontal movement. Thus, the transfer mechanism and operation in accordance with the present invention is not only less complex, but is more efficient an reliable in effecting a transfer of FM from a wound mandrel to an unwound mandrel. Additionally, the compact arrangement of side-side mandrels as opposed to "stacked" mandrels enables the HSDHWA of the present invention to be move compact along the longitudinal axis thereof. (2) The dual mandrels are spaced along a horizontal axis as opposed to a vertical axis of the winding apparatus, thereby affording easy access for the machine operator to unload completed windings from a wound spindle and enabling flexible material to be fed to the traverse guide in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the HSDHWA with the traverse guide reciprocating in the same perpendicular direction, thereby enabling FM to be fed to the HSDHWA over the top thereof, which reduces the overall length of the HSDHWA including the supply for the FM. (3) The traverse mechanism uses a unique rotating crank and connecting rod mounted to slide within a slider cart to obtain the required controllable reciprocating motion for winding FM onto the mandrels. The traverse mechanism operates at higher speeds than that of the barrel cam configurations of known traverse mechanisms, thereby improving the productivity of the HSDHWA.
