A winding machine for scintillating fiber. The fiber is wound around a one-meter-diameter wheel in six consecutive layers. In total, some 10,000 km of fiber were used to build the new tracking system in the LHCb detector, which will begin working when CERN's Large Hadron Collider restarts in 2021. Laboratory for High Energy Physics, Olivier Schneider.
