French Worsted Drawing
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
One page from a series on French worsted spinning by Leon Faux, covering how the winding rolls of carding machines, gill boxes and drawing frames are driven. It explains the horizontal vibrating motion of the winder using driving plates, elliptical and eccentric gears, cranks and gear racks, and discusses the resulting tension on the sliver. Illustrated with mechanical figures of winders and a tension diagram.
