A method of, and apparatus for, manufacturing a stranded product from materials wound on feed reels journalled in a rotating feed cage. To permit operation at a maximum safe speed based on centrifugal force of the mass of material on the feed reels, an energy beam such as light is arranged to sense the diameter of the various feed reels. Cage rotation is then increased as permitted according to the observed diameter of charge of material on the reel having the greatest charge.
