ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is disclosed for winding a strip of thin material such as paper. The apparatus is particularly suited for use with variable speed printer-plotter machines which discharge paper over a wide range of speeds. Such machines require that the tension applied to the paper by the paper take-up mechanism be minimized or maintained within pre-selected limits so that printing-plotting quality is maintained. To this end, the apparatus permits the paper to fall in a free loop between two points of support and includes a sensor which monitors the condition of the loop and actuates a take-up motor when the loop achieves a predetermined magnitude.
