A one-page 1915 article from the periodical Textiles by Leon Faux on French worsted drawing machinery. It describes the circular (soleil) gill-box with its rotating bars and eccentric guides, anti-flexion drawing rolls that keep small upper rolls from bending under pressure, and the three classes of gill-boxes, including mixing gill-boxes. Illustrated with machine diagrams (Figs. 115-117).

One page from a series on French worsted spinning by Leon Faux, covering how the winding rolls of carding machines, gill boxes and drawing frames are driven. It explains the horizontal vibrating motion of the winder using driving plates, elliptical and eccentric gears, cranks and gear racks, and discusses the resulting tension on the sliver. Illustrated with mechanical figures of winders and a tension diagram.

A one-page installment from a series on French worsted spinning by Leon Faux, describing the M. G. B. intersecting gill box used in worsted drawing. It covers the fallers' dimensions, pin placement, working zone, screw pitch, trumpet drive and automatic oiling, and also the Martinot and Galland can gill box that lays sliver in spirals in the can. Three technical diagrams (Figs. 108-110) illustrate the machines.

A single page from Leon Faux's series on French worsted spinning, describing the Gruen intersecting gill-box used in worsted drawing. It covers the fallers, pin rows and screw pitch for merino wool, the leather apron and drawing roll arrangement, and the independent drives. It gives formulas for draft and roll and screw speeds, with Table XXIV listing gear combinations and resulting drafts from about 3.4 to 13.4. Two schematic figures (Figs. 111 and 112) show the machine and its gearing.

A single-page installment from Leon Faux's series on French worsted spinning, describing two types of gill-box used to prepare wool for drawing. It covers the S.A.C.M. intersecting gills, with their upper and lower sets of fallers, and the O.P.S. step gill-box, including faller counts, pin arrangement, drawing point, and sliver delivery. Two line diagrams (Figs. 113 and 114) illustrate the machinery.

Two pages from the trade journal Textiles (pp. 14-15). The first is a continuation of Leon Faux's series on French worsted spinning, covering mixing gill-boxes, doubling of slivers, and winding sliver onto bobbins with a bobbin-winding frame. The second is the start of J. L. Girard's article on purifying water for silk processes, explaining how lime in rinse water forms insoluble soaps that dull silk, and contrasting water treatment for dyeing with that for boilers.
