The winding heads of a bobbin-winding machine are provided with automatic bobbin exchange capability through the use of an indexable magazine which carries multiple interchangeable spindle units. The spindle units engage bobbins and, in turn, are adapted to be engaged by a rotary drive mounted on a transfer arm. The transfer arm moves individual spindle/bobbin combinations between the magazine and the bobbin-winding position after engagement with the rotary drive. Disengagement of a spindle/bobbin combination after winding and return to the magazine permits automatic exchange with a spindle carrying an empty bobbin.
