<p>Roving packages (22) suspended on carriers are transported by a trolley (38) to a ring spinning machine for transfer to the creel of the machine. The creel comprises paths (16) at right angles to the machine length and a central conveyor (15). A robot (20) effects transfer of packages from the trolley (38) to the paths, movement of packages (22) along the paths and transfer of exhausted packages to the central conveyor (15), which moves them to a station (48) at which they can be returned to the trolley.</p> |
