ABSTRACT:
Control means for the traversing guide drive means in apparatus for winding strand upon a rotating flanged spool comprising means adjustably positioned along the path of travel of the traversing guide for providing a reference position signal as the traversing guide passes in each direction through either of two reference positions near the respective end limits of its reciprocation, and means responsive to the reference position signals and including two bistable flip-flop circuits and a preset counter coupled to the spool rotating means for effecting a reversal in the direction of movement of the traversing guide when the count of spool revolutions occurring after the traversing guide passes a reference position while approaching one end limit of its travel attains a selected value, said last named means being reset for effecting a subsequent reversal operation at the other end limit in response to return movement of the traversing guide from the one end limit.
