A rotary sweep arm (20) passes through the axle (14) and is attached therein. An eyelet (22) is connected to a lower end of the arm (20) for movement around the the swift (12) in a plane transverse to the paper. A fixed eyelet (24) is provided on the axis of the swift (12). Yarn is unwound from a hank (not shown) on the swift (12), and passes along a path (30) through the eyelets (22, 24) to a waxer (32) and a cone winder (34).</p> |
