Abstract:

The present disclosure relates, in combination with a draw block, to a continuous type takeup block and spooler and a stripper for employment in the manufacture of metal wire to form selectively spooled bundles or coiled bundles of wire. The combination consists of a gear-driven unit for internally driving a draw block having an upper supporting surface for alternately supporting for operation therewith a stripper or second block in the form of a continuous accumulating block from which wire is passed to a spooler; the latter being employed when spooled bundles are to be formed and the former, when spool-less bundles are desired.
