This Comber-board can be seen at the Textile School, 1336 Spring Garden Street, Philadelphia. Stafford’s Patent Comber Board. The divisions are made with wires crossing each other, giving the least possible wearing surface on the twine, thus reducing friction on the outside of the harness, and consequent wear; preventing bagging and the jumping of lingoes; Jacquards can be run at much higher speed where this board is adopted. Five years’ use has sustained the above claims and demonstrated its practicability.
