Zusammenfassung:This invention relates to apparatus for collecting linear material defining a collector rotatable about a fixed axis onto which the linear material can be wound as a package. Located proximate the collector is a traverse guide for positioning the linear material on the collector. The traverse guide is urged towards the package at a substantially uniform pressure throughout the formation of the package by biasing means. The movement of the traverse guide is controlled by clutch means during formation of the package so that the traverse guide is restricted from moving towards the package.
