CLOSELY SPACED TERMINALS 



When the tenninals are closely spaced the stationary sleeve 6 and the 

 anchoring notch 5 are used in order to anchor the first turn of wire to 

 the terminal. (See Fig. 26.) However, when the terminals are not closely 

 spaced the sleeve and notch are desirable but are not necessary since 

 the insulated portion of the wire can be held by some means external 

 of the tool at an angle of approximately 90° with respect to the tool 

 spindle. The high acceleration of the wrapping motor produces a mass 

 reaction of the wire leading up to the terminal. This counterforce cou- 

 pled with a slight tension of the supply wire applied by the external
