IMPROVED LAY GEARING.
To facilitate making changes in the Lay Gears, we have provided two change places instead of one. Formerly it was the practice to change the gear on the end of the Reversing Shaft or the one between the Reversing Bevels.
In order to bring the change gears into a more convenient position and at the same time increase the range, we have introduced two additional spur gears. One of these is now the regular change gear, and is on a stud carried by an adjustable Quadrant Bracket. The short shaft carrying the bevel gears is now in a horizontal position instead of vertical.
Besides providing for two change places, this improvement dispenses with the Back Cross Rail and allows free access to the main gearing. Any part of the gearing can be taken out and replaced with ease.
There is no longer any necessity of changing any bevel gears. There are two spur gear changes, either of which may be used and which give a very wide range. The entire arrangement is very simple and convenient.
Other sizes of Spindles, Long Collars, Bobbin Gear Tops and Rolls will be supplied when necessary.
DRIVING PULLEYS are usually 16 in. dia., 3 in. face.
