Illustrated catalog and handbook issued by the Fales & Jenks Machine Company in 1925 for its standard ring spinning frame for American and Egyptian cotton (36 and 39 inch widths). It describes the frame part by part (box-head, creels, ring rails, cylinders, spindles, rings, drive gearing) with photographs and line drawings. Most of the volume is reference tables: frame lengths, draft and twist gearing, twist constants, production per spindle, comparative roll speeds, breaking weights, cylinder speeds, cotton yardage, yarn numbering, bobbin sizes, and an order specification form. It is useful for researchers of early twentieth-century cotton yarn production and spinning machinery.
