FRONT VIEW OF DRAWING FRAME WITH CANS REMOVED
CLEARERS—Both top and bottom rolls have Clearers. We apply a patented and very successful Clearer to the Calender rolls which prevents fly from sticking to them and being carried in to the sliver.
WEIGHT RELIEVING MOTION—This is applied to all frames for taking the pressure off the rolls when the frames are stopped.
All rolls are weighted separately. Usual weights are 20 lbs. front line; 18 lbs. second line; 16 lbs. third line; 14 lbs. fourth line.
TRAVERSE MOTION is applied to all frames with leather covered top rolls.
METALLIC TOP AND BOTTOM ROLLS—The front bottom roll is usually 1-3/8 in. dia., and the other three lines of bottom rolls as well as the top rolls, all 1-1/8 in. dia.
Front and second lines are usually 32 pitch; third line 24 pitch and back line 16 pitch. The top rolls have Loose Ends. Weights usually 14 lbs. on all lines.
