Article from The Textile Mercury (7 Sept. 1889) describing an improved cotton puller or bale breaker by Lord Bros. of Todmorden, a machine with a feed lattice and four pairs of rollers that loosens compressed cotton before it reaches the opener. It explains why cotton fibre should be handled gently, and gives the machine's capacity (a 450 lb bale in 15 minutes). The scan also includes an article on Aaron Bradshaw's "Crown" automatic fire sprinkler and the start of a "News in Brief" column on Lancashire cotton mills and trade.
