The winder records what came out, builds what must go back in, presents the job at every hold point, and does not impregnate or close a winding that is wrong. This is a trade, used on whatever motor work is taken in — power station, mine, rail, water or industrial. Grades LV Winder · MV Winder · Senior / HV Winder
