rope manipulation
Rope manipulation which relates to knotting and splicing.
Winding machine operators tend machines that wrap strings, cords, yarns, ropes, threads onto reels, bobbins, or spools. They handle materials, prepare them for processing, and use winding machines for that purpose. They also perform routine maintenance of the machinery.
