Self-stabilizing clustering algorithm for ad hoc networks

A variable pitch-type cable core twister comprising a frame, a reel rotatably supported in said frame and having a supply roll of core elements wound thereon, a core element paying-out flyer fixedly mounted on a shaft rotatably supported in said frame for rotational movement relative to said reel to pay said core elements out of said reel, a brake or tensioning flyer fixedly mounted on a separate shaft rotatably supported in said frame for rotational movement relative to said reel and paying-out flyer and having a plurality of guide holes through which said core elements pass in separated relationship while being braked thereby, a core element twisting-together die fixedly mounted in said frame for twisting the core elements together to form a quad while the core elements are passing through the guide, and drive means for said reel, paying-out flyer and brake flyer.
