for guiding the yarn the countertwist device 17 mounts on its inlet side and its outlet side respectively a first guide tube 25 and a second guide tube 26 upstream of the countertwist device 17 the first guide tube 25 is coupled with the outlet of the set heater 16 an injector 27 connects to the second guide tube 26 which extends below a platform 23 of the service aisle 5 the second guide tube 26 ends directly upstream of the third feed system 18 the third delivery system 18 advances the yarn 4 to the takeup device 9 the takeup device 9 comprises a friction roll 19 for driving a package 20 while being wound a yarn traversing device 24 upstream of the friction roll 19 a storage 21 serving to receive full packages as well as a tube magazine 22 in the takeup device 9 the yarn 4 is wound to a package 20 in the embodiment of the false twist texturing machine as shown in fig1 the delivery system 13 withdraws the yarn 4 from the supply yarn package 7 and advances it into the false twist zone the false twist is imparted to the yarn 4 by the false twist unit 14 the thus produced false twist returns against the direction of the advancing yarn to the first delivery system.
