aisle 43 is provided along the takeup module 40 in its longitudinal direction the drawing plane of fig2 corresponds to the transverse plane the texturing machine comprises a plurality of processing stations one for each yarn the takeup devices 20 occupy a width of three processing stations for this reason three takeup devices 20 overlie one another in a column in the takeup module 40 the processing units arranged in the machine frame 37 are basically identical with the foregoing embodiment so that in the following only their essential differences are described the first feed system 5 on feed module 38 is associated with a creel 3 which accommodates three feed yarn packages 1 one above the other the creel 3 also holds a reserve yarn package in facing relationship with each feed yarn package 1 in the direction of the advancing yarn downstream of the first feed system 5 a heater 6 and a cooling device 7 extend which are successively arranged in one plane and supported by frame section 37 2 above the servicing aisle 42 in this arrangement the yarn advances between creel 3 feed system 5 and heater 6 over a plurality of deflection rolls 9 1 9 2 and 9 3 the processing module 39 mounts one below the other in the direction of the advancing yarn a texturing unit 8 as well as two successive feed systems 10 1 and 10 2 on the underside of frame section 37 3.
