A two-page trade article from The Textile Mercury (10 August 1889) describing an improved revolving flat carding engine for cotton spinning made by John Hetherington and Sons of Vulcan Works, Manchester. It reviews the firm's patents of 1884 to 1889 covering flat covering, cylinder and doffer enclosure, relocation of the flexible bend, flat grinding and an improved feed roller. It then details the card's adjustable under casing, doffer cover and feed motion. It includes an engraving of the machine and cross-section drawings comparing the ordinary and new flat arrangements.
