First part of a trade-journal series on preparing and spinning barchant (cotton waste) yarns, from The Textile Mercury of 29 June 1889. It outlines how waste from cotton mills came to be used for cheap yarns and cloths, then describes Platt Brothers and Co. of Oldham's waste-yarn machinery line, covering the Oldham Willow and the improved scutcher with feed regulator, which is illustrated with an engraving. The scan also includes a short note on a fabric length-marking device and a German textile-industry news letter from Elberfeld.
