winding
Explanation:
Our first advice: winding, being the safest and most self-explanatory expression.

Alternatives:
1) Not applicable (most likely): reeling [reel-to-reel cassette recorder]
2) coiling (up)[<-- an acceptable rendering, though likely slightly too modern for the 1940's

References:
1) Our friend, certified Textiles Technologist [all this winding etc. was/is much related to the production of textiles. Philips was started in an old weaving mill!] +
2) Several dictionaries, among others: 'Philips Translation Services' page 384 etc.

In our home town, Eindhoven, at Philips, people still remember a lot about the production of not only lamps, but radio's as well.

In the meantime we hope you've found out that we've got some expertice on textiles (winding!) within our group!
If in doubt: just ask for further info or references!

Rather near to English:
producing/making/winding bobins [<-- NL 'spoelen/wikkelen']
