Abstract
An apparatus for stranding wire, cables, ropes or the like, has one or more rotatable supports and a plurality of receptacles are non-rotatably mounted on each of the supports. A bundle of wound wire which is to be stranded is contained in each one of the receptacles which are positioned so that the axis of each bundle of wire is substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the support. The wires from each of the bundles in a receptacle are then guided to a stranding point.
