Abstract: A method for constructing a glass fiber imaging bundle includes drawing a continuous glass fiber from a dispenser. The dispenser is mounted for movement parallel to a drum having first, second, and third areas around the drum's circumference. The fiber is affixed to the drum at a location in the first area. The drum continuously rotates during the present process as the fiber is wound around the surface of the drum in the second area. The dispenser moves from a location adjacent to the first area to a location adjacent the third area. Once a ribbon is created, the fiber is dispensed to a location in the third area. The fiber is affixed to the surface of the drum in the third area, and the fiber is then dispensed from the third area to a second location in the first area. The fiber transversing the second area is cut and removed from the surface of the drum.
