If slides wear, the Long Collars tilt forward, the top rail, spindles, bobbins and flyers vibrate, causing bad work and loss of production. This is prevented by our improved system.
PATENT REVERSING AND LET-OFF MOTION entirely prevents the roving running over the ends on the changes. The speed of the bobbin changes simultaneously with the reversal of the lifting rail and thus overcomes the liability of stretching the roving.
FULL BOBBIN STOP MOTION is very effective in its action and prevents overfilling the bobbins. The frame cannot be started after the completion of a set until doffed and the rack has been wound back.
IMPROVED TOP CLEARERS—These are made of polished steel, very light and easy to clean. The hinging is so arranged that any clearer can be easily removed.
LONG COLLARS OR BOLSTERS are fastened in a vertical position by an improved method which prevents their working loose. They are bored throughout their entire length, thus reducing the liability of dirt accumulating inside and causing the spindles to bind.
PATENT RECESSED SELF-LUBRICATING SPINDLE FOOT—This has proved one of the most successful inventions, and is in extensive use. It ensures constant lubrication, prevents wear, and is easily kept clean.
BEARINGS INLAID WITH BRASS—All Bobbin and Spindle Shaft Bearings, Roller Stands and Slides are inlaid with brass.
DRIVING ENDS OF BOBBIN AND SPINDLE SHAFTS are case hardened and are in short lengths, so that they can be easily taken out even when frames are placed end to end with narrow passages between them. This is a great convenience, as it avoids the necessity of having to remove a great many shaft gears. The shafts can be lifted out with the gears on them.
