PURPOSE: To provide a two-apron drafting unit for a spinning machine having an improved upper deflection guide with respect to a bottom cylinder and improved parallel alignment of a pressure roller twin.

CONSTITUTION: For the parallel alignment of a top apron cradle and of a pressure roller twin guided by it with respect to a bottom cylinder, a pressure roller holder arranged in a load carrier only takes over the function of providing the load and the lateral guiding. The parallel alignment of the apron cradle is caused by a preferably L-shaped stop against which the apron cradle will be placed. The shaft of the pressure roller twin is unguided in the radial direction in the pressure roller holder.
