A single page from The Textile Mercury (14 February 1891) in its Machinery and Appliances column. It describes J. H. Stott's improved ring bobbin reel from Wardleworth Ironworks, Rochdale, which uses a tilting bobbin bank to give variable yarn tension and a corrugated hollow tin reel axle for strength. It also covers S. A. Dudley's American double catch pirn shuttle and a short note on the City and Guilds of London Institute's cotton spinning examiner. Engravings show the reel and the shuttle.
