ABSTRACT:
Contact elements depending from a continuous carrier strip along with an interliner are helically wound on a reel in order to provide a sufficient supply of such elements for use with high speed assembly apparatus in which the contact elements are mounted in socket bodies in a continuous fashion. Upper and lower traverse winding stations each include a traversing mechanism mounting an interliner guide and an aligned carrier strip guide. The carrier strip guide is pivotably mounted and has an elliptical tube which extends to the core of the reel and is adapted to follow the diameter of the core as it builds up with layers of carrier strips and interliner and has a carrier strip receiving end which is configured such that a smooth transition surface is presented to the carrier strip in any position the guide assumes.
