102 (#154) ############################################ WOOLLEN AND WORSTED SPINNING 5. With low (short) goods set as near as possible, with long straighten the fibre. 6. If fancy is not well set into the swift, swift is not kept clean and workers cannot do their duty, the doffers ought to be set near. 7. On the scribbler run angle strippers backward way (running over up-hill) ; on the carder going under, set close. 8. To get yarn straight, like worsted, set angle stripper, fancy and doffer close, the yarn should be drawn out on the mule in spinning the last 12–18”; and if it will not go, speed up the mule at the beginning and slow at end to get well together. 9. Fancy ought to be set the thickness of id. into swift for low stuff, thickness of 1/- for better stuff. 10. Has tried the doffer 18" under the swift, but finds does not get the power of lashing the material and won't hold on to it. 11. Three essential points :- Card clean. Speed well. Set well. If the latter two are right, the first follows. 12. For speeding swift : (a) With stockings (Cheviot material) 60 revs. per minute (50" swifts). (b) Botany (fine materials) 85-90. Back swift 80–84. 13. Fancy is the chief cause of unevenness. 14. Doffers may be run slow to get more weight through. 15. Machines want cleaning if fancy is causing rolling (on doffer side of swift). 16. Condense a yarn to be spun to 100 yards per oz. to 60 yds., if partly cotton would be necessary to condense to 70 yds.* 17: With yarn spun to 72 yds., could do 100 warterns (600 lb.) per day of 10 hours on plain low stuff. With yarn spun 100 yds. per oz., 60-80 warterns (360-480 lb.). With yarn spun 100 yds. per oz., if fancy yarns 40-50 warterns (240-270). 18. Showed sample of yarn spun to 160 yds. (warp) * Cotton drafting " dead" on the mule as compared with wool. . 102
