Apparatus and method for lacing or tying cord about end turn portions of coils that project beyond side surfaces, e.g., ends or "faces," of a dynamoelectric machine magnetic core. Apparatus and method, in preferred form, are such that: as the end of tying or stitching cycle is approached, and after last stitch is commenced; cord pulling member and core are relatively moved so that cord pulling member is located to receive a final cord segment (e.g., a cord segment associated with the last stitch in such cycle). As the last stitch is completed, portion of final cord segment is moved into position relative to the cord pulling member so that, upon retraction of cord pulling member, final cord segment is pulled taut and either concurrently or subsequently severed. More desirable for at least leading or advancing end of cord pulling member to be of blunt configuration. |
