Zusammenfassung:A combination filament winding and tape laying apparatus and method for applying matrix impregnated fibrous material to a generally cylindrical mandrel which is rotated about its cylindrical axis in a stationary horizontal position. A filament winding head is moved horizontally along the length of the mandrel by a carriage for filament winding. A platform is attached to the carriage. A tape applying head is mounted on the platform for applying tape whereby it is unnecessary to move the mandrel from a filament winding machine to a tape laying machine when both operations are required. The tape laying head is preferably portable.
