Two pages from The Textile Mercury of 2 November 1889 describing Lord Brothers' (Todmorden) improved vertical-cylinder exhaust opener combined with a single-beater scutcher and lap machine for cotton. The article covers the pneumatic tube, porcupine feeder with chilled-ring and steel-tooth cylinders, gridded cleaning trunks, the self-lubricating footstep of the vertical beater, double exhaust fans, and the drive linkages that stop the feeder when the lap is complete. The pages also carry short notices of the Wolseley sheep shearing machine and Walter Royle's improved oil can, and the start of a 'News in Brief' column on the cotton trade.
