A 1909 engineering article reporting measurements of the power drawn by a single motor-driven ring spinning frame in a cotton mill, taken with a Westinghouse graphic recording wattmeter over a full working day. It explains how a ring frame works (cylinder, bands, spindles, rolls, ring rail, traveler) and interprets the power chart. The author attributes the roughly 20 percent higher load with full bobbins to air fanning at the bobbin surface rather than to bobbin weight. He attributes the small recurring peaks to yarn ballooning during the ring-rail traverse. Illustrated with photographs of the testing set and mill frames, diagrams, and power curves.
