both Electric and Mechanical StopMotion Frames, but the great majority of our ordersare for machines with Electric Stop Motions. The quality of sliver produced by these ma-chines cannot be surpassed; a great saving in wastesingle and roller laps is effected, and productionis increased. Machines stop: 1st—When sliver breaks at back or a can runsout. 2d—When top or bottom front roll laps up. 3d—When sliver breaks in front.4th—When cans are full.5th—When back electric roll or clearer laps up. On account of the positive and quick action ofthe Electric Stop Motions, machines can be run ata much higher speed, in case of necessity, thanMechanical Stop Motion Frames. The tops of Electric Stop Motion Frames, beingfree from the many small parts and projectionswhich are a necessity on Mechanical Stop MotionFrames, are much more easily kept clean, andfly is not carried into the sliver, besides whicha great many delicate and troublesome MechanicalStop Motion parts are done away with. 84

85 FRAMING AND CONSTRUCTION-The machines arebuilt with low, rigid framing. Can tables set into or on topof the floor. BOTTOM FLUTED ROLLS are made in one length andare irregularly fluted so as to prevent cutting of top rolls.The usual diameters are l)i in. front, 1% in. second, third andfourth lines. TOP ROLLS are usually 1 in. dia. on iron. The front linecan have Loose Boss or Loose Ends; the latter are now inextensive use and are generally preferred. ROLLER STANDS are made with separate adjustable slidesor bearings, so arranged that the top and bottom rolls movetogether when setting for difterent lengths of staple. TheRoller Stands and Slides have brasses cast in them for rollerbearings. CALENDER ROLLS are made of steel, turned, ground andpolished. DRAFT GEARING-All Draft and Roller Gears are cut.Changes of Draft are very easily made, and the gearing iswell protected with polished covers. COILERS are made for cans 36 ins. long, 9, 10, 11 or 12 ins.dia. as required. TENSION—Our fin
