44 (#86) ############################################## WOOLLEN AND WORSTED SPINNING at each extreme edge of the condenser--it is impossible to prevent irregularities in sliver at the edges of the feed- sheet and consequently there are irregularities on the edges throughout the machine. These waste threads should be returned by pneumatic conveying tubes to the hopper feed for re-carding. The principles underlying“ intermediate feeds " may be summarized as follows: (A) Build of sliver for feeding into succeeding machine : (1) Band-built (Fig. 15 (6) and (c)). (2) Film-built (Fig. 15 (d)). (3) Band-film built (Fig. 14a and Fig. 15 (e) and (). (B) Direction of fibres as presented to the next machine : (1) Lengthwise(a) unreversed (Fig. 15a); (6) reversed (Fig. 150). (2) Semi-lengthwise-(a) unreversed; (b) reversed. (3) Crosswise-(a) unreversed; unreversed; (b) re- versed (Fig. 15 (6) and (d)). (c) (1) Continuous (Fig. 15 (e)) or (2) broken sliver or fibre (Fig. 15 (f)). Various combinations of (6), (c), and (d) are in every- day use, but rarely in this country are the methods illustrated in (e) and (() (Fig. 15) employed. It is quite obvious, however, that the last word has not been written on this matter; English carders have here something to learn from their French brethren. In Figs. 15 methods of simply but graphically repre- senting the "lie of the slivers "lie of the slivers" and fibre direction in several of these feeds are indicated. 46
