An 1875 article from Engineering describing a self-acting mule for spinning carded wool, built by the Maschinenbau Verein of Chemnitz to Mr. Schellenberg's design. It briefly places the machine against Hargreaves's jenny and the Crompton-Roberts self-actor, then lists the five movements of the carriage during spinning. It goes on to explain the mechanism: eccentrics, levers, snails, brakes and the winding motion for cops. The article closes with gear ratios, pulley sizes and speeds, and is marked to be continued. Three pages with engineering drawings (Figs. 1-5).
