I'm trying to design a small toroid winder, for making EQ inductors around 1"-1.5" in diameter. Can anyone explain or show some pictures of how tension is kept on the wire once it leaves the shuttle? Nothing I've seen so far has explained it well enough.
I've seen systems that seem to use a fabric covered pad in the center of the shuttle, this seems simplest to implement on such a small scale.

But I'm not against building a more complex spring/idler system if necessary.
Thank you!
