Two pages from The Textile Mercury, 20 June 1891, in the 'Machinery and Appliances' column. The first describes the Elm Spinning Company's new cotton mill at Shaw near Oldham, listing the preparation and spinning machinery supplied by John Hetherington and Sons (73,052 spindles in total), and comments on the growth of joint-stock cotton spinning. The second describes a new automatic safety shuttle guard for power looms, invented by W. Brown and sold by Cottrill and Co., with a plan of the mill's preparing room and figures of the guard. Short news items cover woollen braid in China, silk research in India and cotton mills in Greece.
