Abstract: Apparatus for winding an induction coil including a base plate formed with a winding aperture and a winding slot leading from an edge of the plate to the aperture, a pivot arm mounted under the base plate for reciprocating movement toward and away from the plate, a foot pedal or other device for reciprocating the pivot arm, a wire pulling hook on the pivot arm aligned with the winding aperture so that the hook moves back and forth through the aperture when the pivot arm is reciprocated, a spring biasing the pivot arm toward the base plate; and a clamp for holding a core in winding position over the aperture. A counter may be connected to the pivot arm to count the windings applied to the coil.
