Concluding part of an 1874 Engineering article on machinery for spinning silk waste, built by Greenwood and Batley of Leeds.

Engraved plates show the spinning frame, screw gill roving frame, silk-drawing machine and power reel. It closes with the uses of waste-silk yarn in weft, ribbons, velvet, satin and sewing threads.
