A double-twist machine with a single twist effect

$15.00

High-quality and high production rates can be obtained when cabling nonferrous electrical conductors by using a new double-twist machine with a single twist effect. The new machine is described which uses inclined rollers to bring back the second twist normally done in the cradle to entry die. This idea results in a high-quality process that has the added advantage of more than doubling the production rate of a conventional single twist machine.
