ERMEN TOP CLEARERS—The cloth of these Clearers revolves over 2 rolls (one of which is positively driven) and comes in contact with all the top rolls. This revolving clearer is placed inside of our top clearer cover, and is stripped by a Comb through an opening in the top of the cover. This clearer meets with great favor in fine mills, where combed long staple cotton is worked.

DRIVING PULLEY AND SPEED—The Driving Pulley on the Bottom Shaft is usually 16 in. dia., 3 in. or 4 in. face and can be placed at either end of the frame. The usual speed of this shaft is 250 r. p. m., which gives a calculated speed of 363 r. p. m. of Front Roll. One rev. of shaft equals 1-5/11 of Front Roll.
