The axes of the discs are positioned relative to each other so that the peripheries of the discs will be substantially in vertical alignment at one point in their paths of rotation and means are provided for rotating the transfer wheel. A plurality of string gripping means are mounted at equally spaced apart intervals about the periphery of each of the discs, the string gripping means being arranged in upper and lower sets and having jaws movable from closed to opened position, and having means for sequentially opening and closing said jaws.</p> |
