A line juxtapositioner 100 comprises a generally cylindrical drum 110 for storing a layer of strand material 200 around its exterior surface. The layer is formed by wrapping the strand material in adjacent convolutions around the exterior surface which is energized to move in a direction which is parallel to the central axis 101-101 of the drum. Consequently the strand material, which is in direct contact with the exterior surface, also moves in a direction that is parallel to the central axis and advances from one end of the drum toward the other. The exterior surface of the drum comprises six segments 120-120 which attach to a common support infrastructure. Electromagnets 710, 720, 730 associated with each segment cooperate to impart cyclic movement to the segment which causes objects on the segment surface to move in a direction which is parallel to the central axis of the drum. Strand material enters the drum at one end and exits at the other end when the drum is rotated. Because the line juxtapositioner stores a relatively large quantity of moving strand material in a relatively compact space, it may be mounted in an oven to improve the annealing of copper wire.
