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.

THEISEN’S PATENT CONDENSERS.

FOR STEAM ENGINES AND VACUUM PANS.

PARTICULAR MERITS.

I. No water is wasted or consumed, as the condensed water can be used for feeding the boiler, and the same quantity ordinarily employed for boiler feeding suffices for effecting condensation.

II. Hot distilled water is obtained, affording an absolute preventative against boiler incrustation.

III. Very active condensation is obtained with a comparatively small surface, this effect being brought about by the rapid absorption of the heat through evaporation.

IV. A high degree of vacuum is secured, resulting in a great saving of fuel.

V. Hot and impure water can be used for cooling.

VI. The apparatus can be executed to suit the most exacting requirements.

VII. The cooling surfaces are automatically kept clean.

VIII. The condensing passages are easily accessible.

IX. The apparatus is simple in construction and easily manipulated.
