Volume II (second edition, 1923) of Fred Bradbury's treatise on worsted preparing and spinning, devoted to wool combing and its subsidiary processes. It covers intermediate processes between carding and combing (backwashing, bleaching, drying), then the Noble comb in great detail: history, mechanism, pinning and set-over, feeding, dabbing, drawing-off, sliver funnels, can coilers and stop motions. Other combs treated include Cooper's Noble comb, the Lister or nip comb, the square motion comb and the Heilmann comb, followed by finishing gill boxes, conditioning, and material and production costs with worked examples. Illustrated with many mechanical line drawings and gearing and pinning tables.
