A 1913 paper by Frank Nasmith reviewing new textile machinery shown at the Ghent International Exhibition, concentrating on German pirn winding machines (Schlafhorst, Müller, Schroers) and their effect on loom productivity and the shortage of weaving-shed labour. It also covers weft replenishing attachments for looms, cop spindling and tube drawing-off devices from Richard Hartmann, the Alisy-Trübenach cotton comber, and a centrifugal flyer dry spinning frame for flax and jute from Fairbairn Lawson Combe Barbour. The paper is followed by a discussion among Textile Institute members on winding speeds, automatic looms, weaver wages, and British versus foreign machine makers.
