Abstract: A rewind shell having particular utility in the textile industry is comprised of radially extending webs arranged in an angularly displaced array symmetrically about a common longitudinal axis of the rewind shell, the webs each having flanges at their radially outer edges curved about a radius of the common longitudinal axis, the webs and flanges being formed integrally as a unitary metal extrusion. End caps are provided at each end of the rewind shell having support segments extending into the interior of the shell for them to dimensionally stabilize the shell.
