Question

In Koepe winding, the overwind is prevented by

• A. Safety hook
• B. Breakage of rope
• C. Convergence of guides
• D. Thickening of guides

Hint:

In Koepe winding, \[ \boxed{ \text{Overwind protection is provided by convergence of guides.} } \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Recall the safety arrangement in Koepe winding. In a Koepe winding system, overwinding is prevented by a special arrangement at the headgear.

Step 2: Identify the safety feature. The guides are made to converge near the top so that the conveyance is gradually stopped before overwinding occurs. Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{Convergence of guides}} \] is the correct answer. Therefore, \[ \boxed{(C)} \] is the correct answer.
