R 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 fine pitch gearing for the take-up of thesliver between the fluted rolls and the Calender rolls enables anice adjustment to be made for either ordinary or metallic rolls,and reduces the stretching, sagging and breakage of the sliver,preventing stoppage and waste. TRUMPETS—These are made separate from the calenderplates and can easily be taken out. This method is an advan-tage over the old style, as trumpets wear in time and whenworn do not sufficiently condense the sliver. With this systemthey can easily be replaced. BACK GUIDES for both Electric and Mechanical StopMotion Frames are designed so as to separate the slivers andkeep kinks from going into the rolls, thus preventing hmipyand uneven work.

87 CLEARERS—Both top and bottom rolls have Clearers.We apply a patented and very successful Clearer to the Calen-der rolls which prevents fly from sticking to them and beingcarried into the sliver. WEIGHT RELIEVING MOTION—This is applied to allframes for taking the pressure off the rolls when the framesare stopped. All rolls are weighted separately. Usual weights are 20lbs. front line; 18 lbs. second line; 16 lbs. third line; 14 lbs.fourth line. TRAVERSE MOTION is applied to all frames with leathercovered top rolls. METALLIC TOP AND BOTTOM ROLLS—The front bottomroll is usually l)i in. dia., and the other three lines of bottomrolls as well as the top rolls, all 1^ in. dia. Front and second lines are usually 32 pitch; third line 24pitch and back line 16 pitch. The top rolls have Loose Ends.Weights usually 14 lbs. on all lines. ERMEN TOP CLEARERS—The cloth of these Clearersrevolves over 2 rolls (one of which is positively driven) andcomes in contact with all the top rolls. This r
