in. face, T. & L. Two-beater Breaker Lappers or One-beater Breaker Lap-pers with extra Cage Section or Condenser and Gauge BoxSection 16 in. dia., 5X in. face, T. & L. In combinations which have 3 beaters to be driven fromone countershaft of machine, 16 in. dia., 6X in. face, T. & L. Other sizes can be furnished. SPEEDS—The usual speed of all lapper countershafts is435 revs, per minute, which gives 1,450 revs, per minute of theBeaters, and 550 revs, per minute of Cylinders, for ordinarycotton. For long staple cottons the beater speed is reducedto 800 to 1,050 revs, per minute and the Cylinder speed to 300to 450 revs, per minute. PRODUCTION—On ordinary cotton 15,000 to 20,000 lbs.per week of 60 hours. In some cases the production is far inexcess of these figures. For long staple cottons, 10,000 to15,000 lbs. See production table, page 36. FLOOR PLANS AND ELEVATIONS—See pages 54 to 57.These plans are for 40-in. or 41-in. machines, and 45-in.machines are 4 in. wider. 30

31COMBINATION MACHINES. On the opposite page is shown a Self-feedingOpener with 30-in. Cylinder combined with aSingle Beater Breaker Lapper. This is a verypopular combination and, it will be noted, is builtas one straight machine. A floor plan and eleva-tion are shown on page 54. This same combina-tion with an 18-in. Beater instead of the 30-in.Cylinder in the Opener Section is shown in planand elevation on page 55. We also build a Self-feeding Opener with CageSection and Calender Head, which is well adaptedto work Egyptian and Sea Island cottons. (Seepage 53 for plan and elevation.) Self-feeding Openers when built as separatemachines can be placed on any floor above or belowthe Breaker Lappers, or on the same floor, the con-nections being made by Automatic Cleaning Trunks,Conducting Trunks, and galvanized iron pipe, asthe conditions may require. On pages 56 and 57 we show Single BeaterBreaker Lappers with Gauge Boxes and Condensersconnected to Self-feeding Openers by short sec-tions
