Cotton Mill Equipment

Excerpt from Cotton Mill Equipment: Textile Machinery In offering to our clients this second edition of our General Catalog, we wish to extend our thanks for the kind reception given our first issue. In this edition we have rearranged the subject matter with a view to making the catalog more convenient for quick reference. The first section is restricted to cuts and general description, that is, the points which would be of particular interest to the buyer of machinery. The second half contains technical data, specifications, plans, formulć, tables, etc., of interest to the engineers and actual operators. Both sections are logically subdivided by machines, starting with the Opening Room and ending with Slashers. Some of the detailed drawings, gear lists, etc., previously shown in the Picker section have been omitted, this information now being included in our new Picker Parts Catalog for convenience of mill superintendents and foremen. All tables, formulć, etc., have been carefully checked and revised to accord with changes in machines. In addition to purely technical descriptions of our equipment we have included a brief discussion of the various processes used in cotton spinning and of the uses and operation of the different machines. In this new catalog we have covered many changes in design and construction and particularly call attention to the No. 5 Model Picker, which is of entirely new pattern. We have also adopted many radical changes in our spinning frames, notably the new pattern Geared End, Geared End Drive, Birkenhead Creel, Die Cast Aluminum Separators, V-Type Spindles, and various other changes in construction. We wish to assure our customers that our staff of mechanics and engineers is always at their disposal, and we are only too glad to discuss with them any problems which may arise, either in the operation of present machinery or in the production of special equipment to meet special needs.
