(54) Apparatus for removing liquid during the winding of a filament


(57) For removing excess liquid coating medium from the surface of a cylinder formed from winding a filament treated with the coating medium an inclined elongate collector (2) is disposed beneath a path of travel of the filament (6) from a wetting bath (13) to the cylinder (1). A follower (9) pivotally mounted on the collector (2) is urged continuously into contact with the cylinder (1) during winding to remove excess coating medium from the surface of the cylinder and to deposit the excess in the collector for return to the wetting bath.
