Two pages from The Textile Mercury of 13 July 1889. The main article describes the hydro-extractor (centrifugal water extractor) and the patent suspended steam-driven model made by Thomas Broadbent and Sons of Huddersfield, covering its direct steam drive, spindle and lubrication, and its advantages over belt-driven machines. The pages also carry a notice of the Richmond patent double-motion card grinder, an article on steaming and ventilation of weaving sheds with the Blackman fans, a Lancashire mill news column, and a table of Lyons silk prices in 1789.
