New Device for Preventing Irregular Sliver
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A single page from The Textile Mercury (15 June 1889) describing a new stop-motion device for cotton drawing frames, made by Samuel Brooks of Union Ironworks, West Gorton, Manchester. A detector plate balanced by a lever and weight lifts when thick, double or entangled sliver passes and stops the machine; a labeled diagram with letters A to H accompanies the text. The page also carries a Foreign Correspondence column from Elberfeld on German textile matters, including strikes, new spinning mills, and a Spanish dyeing manual.
