Abstract: A winding machine for automatically transferring a continuously advancing strand of yarn between upper and lower winding heads. In order to transfer winding of the yarn from the lower head to the upper head, a guide wheel is moved into engagement with the advancing strand and reroutes it into position for attachment to the upper head. Then a transfer arm is actuated and moves the rerouted yarn so that it is attached to the upper winding head for winding thereon, whereupon the yarn is cut and the tail of the cut yarn winds onto the lower head which may then be stopped and doffed. The strand of yarn is advanced downwardly from above the heads and in order to transfer the strand from the upper head to the lower head, a vertically moving arm first actuates a fanning interceptor which holds a run of the strand against traversing movement whereupon a guide wheel on the vertical arm engages this run of the strand and lowers it into position adjacent the lower head for engagement by a guide wheel which reroutes the advancing strand for subsequent engagement by a transfer arm and cutter, as previously described, whereupon the upper head may be stopped and doffed.
