Page 3, at reduced quality. Open the document to read every page in full.
Four pages from The Textile Mercury of 28 September 1889 (pp. 411-414). The main item describes Messrs. John Hetherington and Sons' improved self-acting cotton spinning mule, with the rim shaft set parallel to the carriage so that narrow older mills can be used for modern long mules. It covers changes to the headstock, steel rim shaft, spur gearing, clutch box, drawing-out and backing-off motions and stop-motions, with engravings of the parallel and ordinary driving arrangements. Also included are a note on a combined yarn testing and inspecting machine by Henry Wallwork and Co., Manchester, short dyeing and dye-chemistry items (antimony mordants from whey, new dyes), and trade news.
