A double loop of wire is formed about a commutator hook before an armature coil is wound, the double loop gripping the hook with sufficient strength to withstand the force generated when the first coil is being wound tending to pull the wire away from the hook. While forming the double loop, the free end of the wire is clamped, the clamped wire portion being severed after the double loop is formed. During the forming of at least the second loop, the wire is positively guided into hooking relation to the commutator hook. |
