PATENT SWING—Well supported and with one (large) Carrier Gear only.
IMPROVED DIFFERENTIAL MOTION—This motion effects a great saving in power, wear and tear, and gives more accurate winding and consequently evener and better work. See [page 106].
IMPROVED LAY GEARING dispenses with all bevel change gears, gives two change places instead of one, is simple and convenient, and allows free access to the main gearing. See [page 109].
IMPROVED METHOD OF LIFTING AND LOWERING BOTTOM CONE DRUM—Both ends of the cone are raised or lowered together from the front of the machine. The belt is kept at a uniform tension from one end of the cone to the other. A patent locking device secures the cone in its proper working position, after doffing, preventing all movement or vibration.
IMPROVED METHOD OF TIGHTENING THE CONE BELT does away with frequent taking-up. When slack, the belt may be tightened in a few moments by means of a Quadrant Bracket. Over 5 in. of stretch can be taken care of without re-piecing. A great saving is effected in labor, stoppages and cone belts.
WINDING BACK THE RACK AND CONE BELT is done from the front of the machine.
IMPROVED SYSTEM OF BALANCING THE TOP OR BOBBIN RAIL—This rail, with its gearing, collars, bobbins, etc., is now supported under its center of gravity by a set of levers, thus relieving the slides and racks of this weight. This system prevents friction and wear of slides, also the tendency to dwell at the changes of the traverse both top and bottom.
