In this edition, you’ll find field-tested answers on:
- Setting feed rolls, cylinder gauges, and wire configurations to prevent waste and ensure consistent roving.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from Kinks on Wool Carding and Spinning: Compiled From the Questions and Answers Department of the Textile World Record

The success which attended the publication of Kinks for Wool Carders and Spinners, a large edition having been exhausted, has led us to compile this book of practical experiences in Woolen Yarn Manufacturing.

The editors of the Textile World Record are at all times face to face with the problem of securing practical information. For years its subscribers have been invited to make free use of its columns in asking questions relating to woolen manufacturing, and it occurred to us that if some of the most important and most interesting of the practical questions that have been answered were gathered together in a handy form for quick reference, it would meet a wide-spread want.

This book contains information which has been supplied by manufacturers, superintendents, and overseers from their private record books and their stores of knowledge gained by experience.
