(54) Apparatus and method for lubricating strand material


(57) The invention relates to an apparatus and method for applying material, such as lubricant, to a strand (S), such as textile yam or thread, as the strand is advanced at variable velocities. The strand (S) is engaged by a device (15) which generates a signal indicative of strand velocity. The strand (S) is also engaged by an applicator (16) which applies the material to the strand, the amounts of material applied being controllably varied in response to the strand velocity signalled by the device (15).
