  • advancing the leading and trailing ends in at least substantial parallelism with and next to each other at an at least substantially identical speed along a path flanked by a rotary knurling surface and a rotary countersurface; and

    rotating said surfaces at different speeds through at least a majority of a plurality of revolutions, said revolutions including an n-th revolution during which the surfaces are sufficiently close to each other to splice the trailing end to the leading end in said path, n being greater than one.
