Abstract
A roving frame having a suspension carriage track extending through the flyers thereof has a parking rail which can accommodate the full length of the suspension carriage train which removes the full bobbins from the flyer row and on the parking rail, by cooperation with a stationary bobbin/sleeve exchanger or one movable along the parking track, can transfer the full bobbins to a transport track and mount empty core sleeves on the suspension carriage train.
