Individual elongate elements (e.g. wires or strands) are drawn off stationary coils in such a manner that the element is elastically twisted. The elements are guided to a stationary closing means in which a bundle of the elements is formed, the elements immediately before being formed into the bundle being substantially free from any curvature that will result in residual slackness in the elongate member being manufactured. The bundle is withdrawn from the closing means and is simultaneously rotated about its axis so as to form the elongate member (e.g. strand or rope) and substantially untwist the elongate elements. The product can be at least 300 m long. |
