only does this allow space to be saved within the spinning station but also the expenditure in wiring and attendant labor within a spinning station can be held at a low level the power control center 20 is for instance placed directly on the stepping motor 12 of the feed drum 2 possibly screwed onto the housing thereof from this point the electrical control lines 23 25 27 run respectively to the other individual drives associated with the given spinning station the frequency generators 22 24 26 can likewise by incorporated into the power control center in an embodiment which is not illustrated another motor is proposed as lead motor instead of the individual motor 12 of the feed drum 2 in the case of additional not shown embodiments besides the individual motor 12 for the feed drum 2 simply one or two of the individual drives 15 16 17 are foreseen as the drive of one or two of the rolls 5 6 7 the possibility exists of using an individual drive 16 designed as a stepping motor for the paraffin roll 6 and controlling this drive by the individual drive 12 for the feed roll 2 by means of the power control center 20 as well as with the frequency generator 24 in this manner no problems will arise upon startup of the paraffin roll 6 since lesser frictional force is to be overcome than is the case with the conventionally employed synchronous motor thus an otherwise necessary heavy inrush current at startup for the paraffin roll can be avoided moreover a single drive 16 for the paraffin roll 6 shows little wear so the maintenance and cleaning expenses are kept at a low level it will be appreciated by those skilled in the.
