A two-page installment from Textile World Journal (continued from the Sept. 2 issue) describing the later stages of spun silk yarn manufacture. It covers drawing frames, roving, spinning frame settings and drafts, winding, twisting, gassing to burn off nibs, reeling into 840-yard skeins, washing, shaking out, and conditioning to about 11 percent moisture. Practical advice is given on yarn counts, loss in gassing, and bundling for weaving and knitting mills. Photographs show drawing, cap spinning, doubling/twisting/reeling, and gassing machinery.
