Abstract: An integral winding machine for winding strand onto a cylindrical package having a hollow core extending axially therethrough and a conical shaped end portion. While maintaining the package stationary, the winding machine receives the strand from a supply source and thereafter winds and deposits the strand in a helical path onto the package, resulting in a uniform, coreless, self-supporting cylindrical package of continuous strand material. The resulting package is adapted to be held stationary while the strand is withdrawn therefrom without introducing any additional twist to the strand. During continuous delivery of the strand material from the supply source for deposit onto the conical shaped end portion of the package, portions of the resulting formed cylindrical package may be regularly removed without stopping the winding process.
