CLUTCH GEARS—The Calender Rolls are stopped andstarted by large Clutch Gears which are a great improvementover the common Drop Shaft and Gear. With this methodthe starting strain is distributed over all the teeth in theClutch Gears, entirely doing away with the frequent breakagesunder the old system. BEARINGS—Where it is possible the bearings are madein bush form, as shown in cut page 26, thus reducing to aminimum the time taken to make replacements and the costof same. Our bearings are very easy to adjust, and theirspecial form prevents oil from getting to the inside of themachine. All high speed Shafts, viz., Fan, Side and BeaterShafts, have ring oiling bearings. 28

29 TOP CAGES AND COVERS—The Top Cages of our Lap-pers are easily removed, as will be seen by referring to thecut, page 26. The sides of the cage cover or bonnet fitsnugly over the bushed bearings. To remove the cage orbushings, it is only necessary to turn back the cover. Thesecovers are all made with oil holes directly over the bearing,so it is not necessary to raise the cover for the purpose ofoiling. NO TILTING OF LAP RACKS—The Lap Racks slide upand down on steel shafts, which entirely prevent the tiltingof the Racks and consequent breakages. SHAFTS—Our Beater and Fan shafts are made from avery hard iron specially mixed to give long life to these highspeed shafts. A countershaft complete with pulleys is attached to eachLapper.
