About This Book

This practical manual surveys the machinery and methods used to prepare and spin cotton, examining fiber structure and the sequence of operations from ginning, opening, and scutching through carding, combing, drawing, slubbing, mule and ring spinning to finishing processes such as reeling, winding, gassing, and spooling. It emphasizes the mechanical principles behind machine construction, provides numerous detailed illustrations and workshop drawings, and describes common modifications, accessories, and maintenance concerns from a machinist’s viewpoint. Chapters on card clothing, grinding, and stripping, together with appendices and a glossary, supply concise technical reference and hands-on guidance for practitioners and students of textile mechanics.

DESCRIPTION.—A is the oil chamber in which works a piston B, having screwed into its top side a hollow piston rod K, which works through a stuffing box. This piston rod also serves as an indicator showing the level of the oil. At the top end of the rod is a filling-plug J, through which the oil is delivered into the chamber A, the oil passing through the small holes at the bottom of the tube; D is the steam inlet, H the oil outlet, G the sight-feed, L an air valve, M a plug which can be unscrewed and the sight-feed G inserted at the other side or a second applied, E is a run-off valve, and C is the base to which the Lubricator is fixed.
