OPENING AND PICKING MACHINERY.
The Opening and Picking of cotton should have the same careful attention as the Carding and Spinning, although the latter processes may seem to some to be more important. Much more attention is being given to this Department everywhere to-day than formerly, and better equipments of machinery are being used. The same equipment is not equally good for all classes of work, as the machinery must be designed and adjusted for the particular kind of stock to be used.
Unless the cotton is well opened and cleaned, and good even laps are made, the Carding will suffer, and the Card Clothing will soon be damaged, which means poor and costly work.
We invite with every confidence all possible investigation into the construction and improved design of our Opening and Picking machinery, and the work it is doing in the mills. This entire line of machinery is substantially built, very simple, and contains many valuable improvements.
