A machine for splicing adjacent ends of textile cords suitable for reinforcing rubberized material used to build pneumatic tires. The machine has a pair of clamps for holding a couple of cord ends in tensioned, adjacent parallel relation, and a ring with a spool of thread for rotating in thread-wrapping relation around the cord ends, after the free end of the thread is knotted to the cord ends intermediate the clamps. The clamps are movable along an axis normal to the plane of the ring when the ring rotates, such that the thread wraps in spiraling relation around the cord ends held between the clamps. The thread extending from the wrapped cord ends is then cut and tied to the cord ends to complete the splice.
