Projecting points on a yoke core are utilized to permit the winding of a number of separate and distinct coils as a single coil capable of subsequent separation into said separate coils. After the winding of a first coil the wire is snubbed against a first of such projecting points and the winding operation is stopped. The yoke core, however, is continuously rotated, dragging the wire across the yoke core until a second projecting point is reached, at which time the winding of a second coil is commenced.
