CHARACTERISTICS. 1—Rigid Bend, mathematically correct at allstages of wear of the wire. 2—Perfect concentricity of Flats to Cylinder.Cylinder Pedestals are adjustable. 3—Arrangements for adjusting Flats wherebyaccuracy to the thousandth part of an inch isobtained. 4—Better quality of yarn made from the samecotton, or equally good yarn made from cheapercotton. 5—Card Clothing throughout is of best Hard-ened and Tempered Steel Wire, Plough Groundor Needle Pointed. 6—Patent Doffer Slow Motion, to facilitatepiecing up of broken sliver. 7—Patent method of securing Clothing to theFlats; neatest, cleanest and most effective. 8—Patent Top Flat Grinding Arrangement forgrinding from the working seating of the Flats. 9—Patent Flat Stripping Motion, which insuresperfect stripping without damage to the Clothingon the Flats. 10—Back Bends or Circles for supporting Flatsand preventing sagging and stretching of chains.

63 The following paragraphs briefly describesome of the points of advantage in the design andconstruction of our machines: CYLINDERS AND DOFFERS are carefully balanced at ahigh speed and are ground after being turned, making a per-fectly true surface for the Card Clothing. GOOD SELVAGES —Both Cylinders and Doffers areclothed to the extreme edges, which prevents ragged selvages. PROTECTION OF CLOTHING—The Doffers are pro-vided with flanges to protect the Clothing, keep the edgesfirm and prevent the wire from being knocked down.Turned iron flanges on the Bends, and Segment Rings fixedto the inside of the lower part of the framing protect theedges of the Cylinders all the way round. The Doffers aremade ^ in. wider than the Cylinders in order to keep theedges of the latter clean. PREVENTION OF ACCUMULATION OF FLY—The Segment Rings which are fitted close to the edges of theCylinder project in such a way as to form a circle two incheslarger than the diameter of the Cylinder.
