<p>A stranding machine for making multi-stranded cables or the like incorporates a rotatable filament feeding device (1) having a plurality of elongated tubular support devices (2, 3) for supporting coils of the filament. Whilst in prior art devices the coils have their axes transverse to the axis of rotation of the filament feeding device, thus being difficult to load and slow to operate by virtue of their dimensions, in the invention the axes of the coils are parallel to each other and to the axis of rotation of the device. Thus the device operates rapidly and is easy to load.</p> |
