ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure relates to a method and a machine for forming stranded wire into a wire cord and comprises the steps and elements of mounting several spools of individual wire strands on a common arbor in a manner that the strands may be unwound in the same direction and fed to a gathering sheave, rotating means for supporting two spaced-apart flyer sheaves arranged radially upward of said gathering sheave, said flyer sheaves being arranged so that the several strands are fed radially outward from said gathering sheave and, hence, from one flyer sheave to the other and, thence, to a discharge station arranged coaxially with said gathering sheave and on the same side of a wire coiling means adapted to pull the wire through the machine, the construction and arrangement of elements being such that the individual strands of wire are caused to be formed into a wire cord in which the number of twists per unit length is a function of the speed of travel of the wire and the revolutions per minute of the rotating means.
