Two pages from The Textile Mercury of 31 January 1891 (p. 82 onward), under the heading Machinery and Appliances. They describe J. Whalley's improved shuttle box swell for looms, with front and back views, and claim a 50 to 70 percent cut in spending on shuttles, pickers and picking bands at Cicely Bridge Mill, Blackburn. They also cover the "Pyros" boiler heating combination, the start of a series on bleaching that opens with the history of cotton bleaching, and the opening of James Sharp's paper on fast colours on cotton.
