[en] A large coil winding facility (>2 m OD) is devoted to developing equipment for winding steady-state toroidal field coils having ''D'' or ''oval'' shapes. Some activities for this facility are discussed. Novel techniques have been developed for winding spliceless pancakes that may have immediate applications for pulsed poloidal field coils. The concept is also applicable for many other coils, including room temperature coils and coils with odd shapes. Also, a unique method of winding small toroidal field test coils has been developed. This method of winding suggests possibilities for remote winding of coils, which may be useful in fusion devices. The selection of suitable superconductors and structural materials is a continuing concern but the emphasis of this work is on the development of fabrication methods
