This part of ISO 5238 specifies forms of winding suitable for winding yarns and similar products (for example, tape yarns, roving, sliver) onto tubes or other formers. It may be applied to spinning, twisting and winding machinery as well as to other machines fitted with winding devices. All forms of winding are a combination of the rotation of the package and the lateral movement of the yarn relative to the package. NOTE — In addition to terms given in the three official ISO languages (English, French and Russian), this part of ISO 5238 gives the equivalent terms in German; these have been Included at the request of Technical Committee ISO/TC 72, and are published under the responsibility of the Member Bodies for Germany, F.R. (DIN) and Switzerland (SNV) who have verified the correctness. However, only the terms given in the official languages can be considered as ISO terms.
