A method and apparatus for winding a plurality of interconnected dynamoelectric machine field coils providing intercoil connections of minimum length. At least two coil forms are provided each having a distal end and a proximal end secured to a support, the coil forms extending radially outwardly from the support in angularly spaced relation. Each coil form has at least two steps with the largest step adjacent the proximal end and the smallest step adjacent the distal end. A flyer-winder is provided supported for axial movement thereby to wind the coils on the coil forms. A first latching mechanism is provided for moving the flyer forwardly in incremental steps thereby to position the flyer for winding on the respective coil form steps, and a second latching mechanism is provided for moving the flyer rearwardly in incremental steps, likewise to position the flyer for winding on respective coil form steps. A traversing mechanism is provided for moving the flyer axially thereby to traverse the flyer across the coil form independently of the incremental steps provided by the latching mechanisms. With this construction, a part of a coil on one coil form is wound progressing in a forward direction from the proximal end toward the distal end with the starting end of the coil being adjacent the proximal end, and the remaining part of the coil is wound in a direction progressing rearwardly from the distal end toward the proximal end with the finishing end of the coil being adjacent the proximal end. Thus, when the support is rotated to move another coil form into winding relationship with the flyer, the starting end of the coil forms a continuation of the finishing end of the previously wound coil, both of these ends and the interconnection therebetween being adjacent the proximal ends of the respective coil forms and the support, thereby minimizing the length of the intercoil connections.
