DOFFING.
25. System in doffing the frames. To save making waste and trouble in the room, doff every other row right through, then go back and doff the remaining rows through. In doffing this way the spinners can tend more sides and not make so much waste, as any spinner knows, or ought to know. Frames run better when half full than on an empty bobbin. One frame stopped at a time to doff, is all that ought to be permitted. From three to four minutes is long enough time to doff any frame with four doffers. The first frame should be filled to a gauge astride the bobbin. Do not go by the clock, as the yarn is sometimes heavy. This gauge is the best guide I ever had in doffing.
