I think he means it's spun in a loop like concertina wire they use in the
battlefield.

Maybe, but a concertina is a small version of an accordian, a  musical
instrument  powered by a bellows but without a piano-type keyboard.   Think
Kirk Douglas as Ned Land in the movie "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" singing
about "A Whale of a Tale" whilst playing his concertina.

It might be the bellows action he's referring to.
