A 1909 engineering article reporting measurements of the power drawn by a single motor-driven ring spinning frame in a cotton mill, taken with a Westinghouse graphic recording wattmeter over a full working day. It explains how a ring frame works (cylinder, bands, spindles, rolls, ring rail, traveler) and interprets the power chart. The author attributes the roughly 20 percent higher load with full bobbins to air fanning at the bobbin surface rather than to bobbin weight. He attributes the small recurring peaks to yarn ballooning during the ring-rail traverse. Illustrated with photographs of the testing set and mill frames, diagrams, and power curves.

Article by Albert Walton in Cassier's Magazine (1911) on driving self-acting spinning mules with electric motors. It explains the mule's cycle (run-out, twisting, back-turns, run-in) and the sharp power peak when the spindles accelerate. It then compares group drive, individual motors with a 250-pound flywheel, and flywheel-free motors with looser speed regulation, including a side-by-side demonstration on worsted mules and power curves. Walton favors a constant-speed standard motor driving the existing countershaft.

A 1909 Cassier's Magazine article by Albert Walton on applying individual electric motors to directly drive power looms in textile mills. It explains basic loom operation (warp, harnesses, reed, shuttle, shed) and the problems of starting and stopping a loom instantly, lint and dust, and the drawbacks of overhead and under-floor belt shafting. It compares a German belt-suspended motor, a friction-disc quill motor, and the friction-gear drive with a switch that cuts power when the loom stops. Illustrated with line diagrams of loom mechanism and drive arrangements.

A 1910 article from Cassier's Magazine by Albert Walton on replacing belt and line-shaft drives with individual electric motors on cotton-mill picking machinery (opener, breaker, intermediate, finisher). It describes the picking process, the drawbacks of the traditional belt drive, and three motor arrangements: ceiling-mounted belt drive, silent chain drive, and direct connection to the beater shaft. It includes diagrams, photographs of picker rooms before and after conversion, and Westinghouse graphic wattmeter charts showing daily power use of a breaker, intermediate and finisher picker.
