COMBINATION MACHINES.
On the opposite page is shown a Self-feeding Opener with 30-in. Cylinder combined with a Single Beater Breaker Lapper. This is a very popular combination and, it will be noted, is built as one straight machine. A floor plan and elevation are shown on [page 54]. This same combination with an 18-in. Beater instead of the 30-in. Cylinder in the Opener Section is shown in plan and elevation on [page 55].
We also build a Self-feeding Opener with Cage Section and Calender Head, which is well adapted to work Egyptian and Sea Island cottons. (See [page 53] for plan and elevation.)
Self-feeding Openers when built as separate machines can be placed on any floor above or below the Breaker Lappers, or on the same floor, the connections being made by Automatic Cleaning Trunks, Conducting Trunks, and galvanized iron pipe, as the conditions may require.
On [pages 56 and 57] we show Single Beater Breaker Lappers with Gauge Boxes and Condensers connected to Self-feeding Openers by short sections of Conducting Trunk. The Breakers are on the floor above the Openers. One drawing shows the Self-feeding Opener with 18-in. Beater, and the other with 30-in. Cylinder.
