number of windings over a pair of godets 5 and after this is guided with a predetermined number of windings over a pair of godets 6 the two pairs of godets 5 6 together form a drafting unit after the pair of godets 6 the thread 1 is guided through a texturing unit 9 which can fundamentally be any known texturing unit but in this case however is a so called 34 rolltex 34 texturing unit which is shown and described in published european specification no 0310890 a1 after the texturing unit 9 the texturing grafts which are well known arrive at a cooling drum 12 on which the filament warmed and compressed in the texturing unit 9 to the aforementioned texturing grafts is cooled after the cooling drum 12 the texturing graft is again released that is the thread is guided over the guide rollers 10 11 which function as brakes so that the grafts in the area between the guide rollers 11 10 as well as before the following pair of godets 7 are again drafted to a thread in which the texturing although in a stretched form here has remained the pair of godets 7 form a relax unit by means of which the textured threads are again warmed in a known way in order to retain a texturing intensity of the predetermined kind between the godets of the pair.
