A winding machine for the continuous glass filament winding of bonded fiberglass structures, such as cryogenic tanks for liquid natural gas, often referred to as LNG tanks, comprises, a hemispherical male mold mounted on a turntable, a half circular track which rotates over the male mold about a horizontal axis, a carriage which moves along the inside of the half circular track, and a bobbin wound with fiberglass tape secured to the carriage, whereby, the combined motions of the turntable, track and carriage are coordinated by numerical control, to produce a desired winding pattern to completely cover the hemisphere in manufacturing bonded fiberglass structures and parts thereof.
