FOR DRY OR WET TWISTING.
Our Ring Twister resembles our Spinning Frame, both in construction and design, and the descriptive matter on [pages 140] and [151] apply to this machine.
The marked success of our Spinning Frame led us to build a Twister embodying the same improvements and special features which have been so much appreciated. All parts are machined, and are interchangeable.
LOW FRAMING AND HEAVY RIGID CONSTRUCTION— The frames are built very low, are extra heavy in all their principal parts and are designed and constructed so as to stand high speeds without vibration, thus preserving the spindles, insuring light running and reducing the cost of repairs.
DRY AND WET TWISTING—We build machines for either Dry or Wet Twisting. When for wet work the bottom and top rolls are covered with brass, and brass troughs are provided for the water. The yarn is submerged by means of glass rods which are easily raised or lowered.
ARRANGEMENT OF ROLLS—Machines are built with any of the following arrangements of Rolls:
Single Line Bottom Rolls, and Single Line Top Rolls.
Double Line Bottom Rolls, and Single Line Top Rolls.
Double Line Bottom Rolls, and Double Line Top Rolls.
SPINDLES—Any of the improved modern high-speed spindles are supplied as required. We do not make any Twisters with common or old style "Two Rail" spindles.
KNEE BRAKES are furnished when required.
GAUGES AND RINGS—We build machines from 2-1/2-in. gauge with 1-1/2-in. rings up to 5-1/2-in. gauge with 4-1/2-in. rings. Any desired form or style of ring will be furnished. All of these rings are made from high-grade steel of special analysis, hardened by improved methods and accurately finished.
