30 (#60) ############################################## WOOLLEN AND WORSTED SPINNING means of a lattice and two feed rollers. The material is fed in on a travelling lattice, and may remain under work as long as is considered desirable. After a suitable controlled period of willowing a door automatically opens, and the material is thrown out on to the delivery lattice. The production is about 900 lb. per hour. Although there is no one standard design of Willow, since makers produce machines embodying special and distinctive features and advantages, yet these as a rule are matters of detail, the general character of all makes of this machine being uniform. The Fearnought (Fig. 8b) consists essentially of (a) an automatic continuous feeding apparatus with which is often combined an oiling apparatus, which is almost invariably ignored* ; (b) a coarse carding apparatus which should both tease out unopened wool-locks and mix up the component materials of the blend ; and (c) a delivering apparatus usually of the air-blast type. This latter may be arranged to deliver the teased blend by a system of conveyer - tubes to the blending room into bins, suitably situated in relation to the cards through which the blend must next pass. The con- struction and action of these parts will be understood from Fig. 8b and the following description. The main swift of the “Fearnought” is clothed with strong tenter-hook teeth, three or four pairs of workers (clothed with strong tenter-hook teeth) and strippers (clothed with strong but not tenter-hook teeth); a lattice which delivers the wool to two feed- rollers, a licker-in and angled stripper, and a delivery arrangement consisting of a fan, while underneath both swift and fan is a grating or grid through which the ) * With a Hopper feed this may be used to advantage. 30
