ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for laying of optical waveguides into sinuous grooves of a support filament in which a laying device surrounding a feed path for the filament has a plurality of elongate guide elements for the waveguides, the elements extending downstream from a carrier and being inclined to the feed path to terminate in free inner ends. The guide elements are rigid and are allowed by the carrier to have lateral swinging movement to enable their free ends to follow the path of a groove in the support filament as it moves along its feed path. A groove locating projection is provided to maintain positional relationship between the carrier and support filament as the filament passes the carrier.
