ABSTRACT:
A main array of main rods parallel to and centered on a fixed main axis is supported for rotation about this main axis. Similarly a skew array of skew rods substantially parallel to and centered on a skew axis extending at an acute angle to the main axis is supported for rotation about the skew axis with the skew rods interleaved with the main rods. At least one of the arrays of rods is carried on a support formed between the rods with throughgoing holes in which are loosely received the free ends of the other array of rods. Thus when either of the arrays of rods is rotated about its respective axis the free ends will operatively engage the support at these holes and rotationally entrain the other array, thereby rotating the main and skew arrays so as to define relatively inclined main and skew orbits. A filament is fed tangentially to the orbits and withdrawn tangentially therefrom, after being urged axially along these orbits by their relative inclinations. An eccentric is provided for varying the spacing of the skew axis relative to the main axis in a direction perpendicular to the main axis.
