Abstract:
Apparatus for twisting wires comprising:means for feeding a pair of insulated wires into a wire twisting machine;means for twisting said wires together at a constant speed to form a wire lay; winding means for receiving and winding the twisted wires;first drive means for driving said twisting means;means for sensing the rate of speed of the wires being twisted;means for generating a frequency signal proportional to said rate of speed;means for receiving said signal and generating a randomly varying signal representative of a varying length of lay within predetermined limits;means for generating a control signal from said randomly varying signal; andsecond drive means for receiving said control signal and applying said control signal to said winding means to randomly vary the length of lay of the pair of twisted wires wound on said winding means.
