Illustrated Catalogue of Cotton Machinery Part 23

The cones are very easily removed, and although they may vary in size or shape, any irregularities are taken care of by the Mandrels.

IMPROVED REVERSING MOTION--The durability of Winders and the uniformity of the winding depends {224} to a great extent on the accuracy and wearing qualities of the Reversing Motion. The cam and bowl in this motion are of hardened steel, and the cam runs in oil.

Our Motion gives an instantaneous reversal, and prevents the throwing over of the yarn at the ends, ensuring a perfectly shaped cone or parallel Tube.

ADJUSTABLE TRAVERSE--The length of the traverse can be adjusted from 4 in. to 6 in. by a very simple method.

AVAILABLE SPEED TRAVERSE--By means of a change gear on the Main Driving Shaft, the ratio of the speed of the traverse to the speed of the drum can be altered. A ratio which is best suited to coa.r.s.e yarn is not the best for fine yarn. The work which these machines are called upon to do may vary from winding very coa.r.s.e ply yarns to fine single yarns, and a variable speed traverse is of advantage.

DRIVING PULLEYS--These are 18 in. dia., 2-1/2 in. face, Tight and Loose, and usually make 100 to 125 revs., according to the cla.s.s of work.

PRODUCTION--Based on 125 revs. of Driving Pulleys, with 20 per cent allowance for stops, the production per drum per week of 60 hours figures 500 hanks (hanks/number of yarn = lbs.)

FLOOR PLAN OF CONE WINDER

[Ill.u.s.tration]

Machines are 42 in. wide and are usually built with 100 drums, 36 ft.

8-1/2 in. over all (including driving pulleys) but other lengths can be made. Deduct 8-1/4 in. for each two drums less than 100.

NOTE--One rev. of Driving Shaft equals 2.76 revs. of Cone.

WARPERS.

One 54-in. Cylinder Warper (with large dia. Cylinder) occupies a s.p.a.ce of 7 ft. x 3 ft. 6 in. with 24-in. beam head.

The floor s.p.a.ce of creels varies considerably. An ordinary Warper with creel requires a s.p.a.ce of about 8 ft. x 13 to 14 ft.

Driving Pulleys 10 in. x 2 in.

Cylinders of Warpers are run from 30 to 40 revs. per minute, depending on the cla.s.s of work.

We give below production table based on 36 revs. of Cylinder (Pulleys 196 revs.) per minute. In this table 33 per cent. has been deducted for stoppages.

CYLINDER SIZING MACHINE OR SLASHER

{229}

SLASHERS.

The Slasher System of Sizing was invented by Mr. James Bullough, and Slashers were first made and put on the market by Howard & Bullough, Ltd.

The advent of the Slasher, dispensing as it did with the old systems of Sizing, is recognized as one of the greatest inventions of the age.

Probably no other invention was ever taken up and supplanted other systems with such rapidity as that of the Slasher, in every cotton manufacturing country. Although Slashers are now made by others, the Howard & Bullough machine still keeps the lead, and improvements are being continually added.

NEW PATTERNS--The machines are now made from new patterns with extra heavy framing, with broad f.l.a.n.g.es, planed edges, and milled doubled-f.l.a.n.g.ed joints, giving great strength and solidity. All seatings, cross-rails, princ.i.p.al brackets and fixings are planed or milled.

HEADSTOCKS--These are made in three lengths, Short (8 ft. 6 in.), Medium (10 ft. 4 in.) and Long (12 ft. 2 in.), and are complete with Fan, Conducting Rollers, Polished Dividing Rods, quick and accurate Yarn Marker, Expanding and Contracting Comb, Spring Bearings for preventing the breaking of yarn when starting the machine, Triple Speed Change Gears, Slow Motion arrangement, Side Shaft, and Gearing to Copper Size Rollers, Patent Yarn Beam Friction and Patent Revolving Yarn Beam Presser.

PATENT YARN BEAM FRICTION--With four frictional surfaces. These Frictions have more than double the friction surface of the older styles, and give considerably more power and are proving the most efficient Frictions ever invented.

SLOW MOTION DRIVING--This enables the Slasher to be run at a very slow speed, instead of being entirely stopped whilst doffing, etc., thus preventing the burning or spoiling of yarn whilst under the squeezing rollers in the size box. {230}

COPPER CYLINDERS--Made from best Copper Sheets well and evenly rolled by machinery, so as to give a perfectly smooth drying surface, with Ends or Heads made of Steel plates. Cylinder Shafts run on Anti-Friction Bowls, and are provided with Pressure Gauge, Safety and Reducing Valves, and Steam Traps.

SIZE BOX--With two Heavy Seamless Copper Rollers, with Bra.s.s Glands and Bra.s.s Bushes. The Ends of these Rollers run in Bra.s.s Steps in Pedestals supported by Tables which are cast to the outside of the Size Box.

Size Box also contains perforated Copper Boiling Pipe, Seamless Copper Immersion Roller, with adjustable Racks and Motion, Bra.s.s and Tin Conducting Rollers, and Bra.s.s Taps.

CREELS--These are usually made for 6 Beams, but are made for more if required, and have Adjustable Bearings. Three sizes are made, 22-3/8 in., 25-1/2 in. and 27 in. between centers. The latter for Beam Heads up to 26 in. dia.

We also apply, when ordered, any of the following:

Patent Traversing Yarn Beam Presser.

Patent Expanding Double Yarn Beam Presser.

Patent Yarn Tension Arrangement to Size Box for enabling the size to better penetrate the Yarns.

Positive Driving Arrangement to Cylinders for Fine Yarns or small number of ends.

Extra Carrying Rolls and Stands.

PRODUCTION--One Slasher will supply from 150 to 600 Looms, according to the cla.s.s of work; about 300 is the average.

DRIVING PULLEYS--Are on Right Hand side of Head-stock (when facing same), 13 in. dia., 3 in. face, T. & L. Slow Motion Pulley is 1 in.

face, making 7 in. in width for the three Pulleys.
