Abstract 1,123,137. Coiling. COMPAGNIE GENERALE D'ELECTRICITE. 19 April, 1967 [10 May, 1966], No. 18093/67. Heading B3E. [Also in Division H1] In a machine for producing a " meandertype " cable the main conductor assembly 1 is driven longitudinally, within a tube 2 which rotates about its axis and has a " pigtail finger 3 at one end. Auxiliary wires 5, 5<SP>1</SP> are drawn from coils 4, 4<SP>1</SP> regularly disposed about the cable, and pass through guiding conduits 6, 6<SP>1</SP> parallel to the cable axis. A taping head 7 rotates parallel to the axis of the cable in the same direction and at the same speed as tube 2. Coils 8, 8<SP>1</SP> on the taping head 7 supply tapes 9, 9<SP>1</SP> which are constrained by guide surfaces 10, 10<SP>1</SP> so that one tape holds fast the auxiliary wires on the cable on either side of the pigtail, and the second lays upon the cable the undulation formed on the auxiliary wires, after the undulation has passed the pigtail, as shown in Fig. 2. The auxiliary wire guide may consist of a cylindrical body having internal longitudinal grooves for each wire. The tapes 9, 9<SP>1</SP> may be metal.
