Abstract: A web winding and severing apparatus using a linear carriage arrangement wherein the cores are positioned relative to feed to a winding drum in a bilateral manner such that a core is always adjacent to the drum ready to receive the leading edge of the web. A pair of reciprocating carriages are mounted on a frame which supports a winding drum for rotation. The carriages movement relative to the drum is independent, yet coordinated such that as one carriage carries a filling winding core, the other stands ready on the opposite side of the winding drum with an empty core. As the web is severed the second carriage positions its core to become the winding core and the first carriage moves away to off-load the full core, then, returns to a ready position with a fresh core.
