From 16 to 40 ends of the resulting sliverare then run through a Derby Doubler and formed into a lap, twoof these laps are fed into the back of a Revolving Flat Card andformed into a sliver. One of these slivers combined with five othersmade up from the regular work of raw stock is passed through abreaker drawing and thence through a finisher drawing. Thereafterthe process proceeds as in the usual course of manufacturing cottoninto yarn, the fibre of the waste having been thus restored to itsformer state of usefulness with but little additional treatmentand without impairing its quality; in fact, it is so thoroughly andevenly mixed with the raw stock as not to be discernable in theresulting product and the shrinkage in weight does not exceed 3%.Machines for the equipment of one unit of this process area Full Roller Card, a Derby Doubler and a Revolving Flat Card.

ROVING WASTE CARD This card is of the full roller type, equipped with metallic breast, workers, strippers and fancy roll. It is usually built with a hand feed apron and a single coiler w th belt conveyor front; but, if desired, it may have an automatic feed and double coiler front. If a large production is required, we recommend the double coiler front, for the purpose of making a light sliver rather than running the doffer at a high rate of speed.
