Two-page article from The Textile Mercury's 'Machinery and Appliances' column. It describes E. Jagger & Co.'s segmental cop-tubing apparatus for placing tubes on spinning-frame spindles, their tube manufacture, and a combined paste box and brush for pasting cop bottoms. It also covers news of a Russian worsted spinning mill and loom-maker expansion, and begins a description of G. H. Holden and Co.'s stop-motion doubling winding frame.
