Condenser which takes oft 80to 96 good ends for the 48 width machine, and single or doubleapron rubs using the ring doffer. The spools of roving can be spunto advantage on any one of three separate types of spinning frameswhich we have developed to meet the various demands of wastespinning. In this connection it is interesting to note that by ourpresent methods on the Condenser System it is possible to makeyarns of low grade waste at least 25% finer in numbers and atconsiderably less labor cost than has been possible heretofore bythe use of the woolen system. On pages 81 to 91 plans and descriptions of several equipmentsare shown which will give an idea of the kind and amount of ma-chinery required to use up various grades of waste. For the infor-mation of those interested, we are showing three complete unitsfor spinning yarn; also one for converting roving and spinnerswaste into sliver; and one for reclaiming the long fibres from cardstrips, etc. /f^ ^r?T Page 11 Preparation ofStock
