ABSTRACT:
An accumulator wherein the peripheral speeds of separate, accumulating guide roller assemblies are caused by respective independent mechanical arrangements to coincide with the take-up speeds of first and second take-up devices. Using this arrangement, the speed of the optical fiber being accumulated is always equal to the peripheral speed of the accumulating guide rollers so that there is no instantaneous tension change that would otherwise result from a backlash of interconnecting gears.
