(1) Note. The flexible cutter is frequently a renewable length of wire or similar material laid across the winding path to be drawn taut (a) to sever the elongated material when a first take-up is fully wound, and (b) to assist in continuing the winding by binding the new web end to a second, adjacent take-up by spirally winding over the new web end as the web is convolutely wound.
