Hi All:

I guess i am going to have to construct my own winder for 
the UPI boxed paper. The problem is I don't have enough 
room in the teletype display area to feed even one of the 
machines from the back, as it will narrow the passageway 
between machines too much... I have to maintain at least 3 
feet between rows of machines to satisfy fire and 
accessability regulations. If one or more was even a foot 
out from the wall, that space would be too narrow.

What I will need, then is some type of winding roll which 
will hold the cardbaord core well enough that is can be 
wound. It would need metal disks on the outside to make 
sure the paper winds straight. I will figure out something 
for the motor drive...

Anyone have any idea or a suitable paper take-up reel? I 
would also like to build this thing so that it would 
separate multi-ply paper paper as well, as I have a case of 
2 copy multi-ply rolls, even if I had to wind only one ply 
at a time and let the other ply gather until I could run it 
through onto another roll......
