Excerpt from The Textile Industries, Vol. 3: A Practical Guide to Fibres, Yarns and Fabrics in Every Branch of Textile ManufactureDrawing and Twisting - The spinning process having been broken up into parts, the drawing operation can be viewed by itself, but the very finest drawing frame cannot produce anything useful and only prepares the fibres for Operations succeeding. Drawing rollers and faller gills elongate and attenuate the Sliver and make of it a fragile thing useless for any purpose save that for which it has been destined in the factory. We have seen the drawing Operation to be such that, if it were not for repeated doublings, the slivers would fall to pieces, and all possibility of producing a thread vanish. The finest sliver is too thick for yarn and it lacks the necessary tensile strength and compactness. The cans in which the drawings have been conveyed from place to place, from frame to frame, are unwieldy, and, if the work is to progress rapidly, Some other carrier must be devised. After the drawing, therefore, Operations are turned in the direction of refining and strengthening the thick, soft ropes, and forming them into portable shape.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
