Abstract (en)

Individual elongate elements (wires 2 or strands 4) are drawn off stationary coils (21) in such a manner that the element (2,4) is elastically twisted. The elements (2,4) are guided to a stationary closing means (23) in which a bundle of the elements is formed, the elements immediately before being formed into the bundle being substantially free from any curvature that will result in residual slackness in the elongate member (1,3) being manufactured. The bundle is withdrawn from the closing means (23) and is simultaneously rotated about its axis so as to form the elongate member (strand 1 or rope 3) and substantially untwist the elongate elements (2,4). The product can be at least 300 m long.
