An apparatus for changing intervals, or the spacing, at which selected wires are arranged in an arrangement of wires includes a lateral arrangement of linear pipes which convey wires of the wire arrangement; means for applying opposing forces to the pipes to maintain them in parallel in the arrangement; and a wire-interval changing blade assembly having a plurality of blades which intervene between selected adjacent pipes and which overcome the opposing forces applied to the pipes, thereby causing the pipe forward ends to separate from each other while allowing their rearward ends to remain close to each other, thus diverging at their forward ends. <IMAGE> |
