Abstract: A method and apparatus for handling a large fabric roll and an interengaging spindle therefor before and after a slitting operation in which the roll and spindle are supported in initial handling positions in longitudinal spaced and aligned relation, the spindle being supported initially at two positions at its end portions and moved longitudinally by the support at its remote end portion into interengaged relation, during which movement, the support at the other end portion is progressively changed in a direction toward the remote end and then removed after the end portion has initially engaged within the roll. The slitting operation is performed after support of the roll has been transferred to the outwardly extending spindle end portions and the roll has been transversely moved into an operative slitting position. The handling procedures are substantially reversed after the slitting operation.
