Quotes from Instruction book on ring spinning (Francis L. Lincoln)

Francis L. Lincoln, Instruction book on ring spinning

“ By wiping off thread-boards, waste catching on to the ends and spinning. By rolls not being kept clean and oiled. By spinners not being careful enough when they clean their rolls. By spinners brushing and cleaning their frames. By brushing down over head. By spinners not keeping their clearers clean. The carder should be just as particular about making his roving as the spinner is about making his yarn; then there will be good work all through. A dry front roll will make bunches on spinning frames, and will do the same on speeders. Sweepers should not blow their waste under the frames. ”

“ To see that your Draughts, Twists and Travelers are right for the numbers of yarns you are spinning. Travelers govern the twist. When the bobbins are full there is more twist in than when it first starts. Have them heavy enough to keep the ends straight. If Travelers are poor the work will run bad. Change them on fine work once in three or four months, clean them every doff, and touch the ring with a little oily waste. If Draught gears bind, spinners cannot keep their ends up.

“ In running two-roving together, always [11] have them of the same hank, because if one is of one hank, and the other of another, there will be more twist in one than in the other, and will not make as good yarn, and will not draw as even as they would if they were of the same twist or hank. ”

“ Too much twist in roving makes bad yarn, and spoils the top rolls on spinning frames. The square root of the number is about the twist for roving. It gives the Carder a chance to keep up with the spinning, and gives the Spinner a chance to make a better quality of yarn. If there is too much twist in the roving, you cannot draw it on spinning frames without spreading the rolls ”

“ How coarse threads are made. First, by coarse roving; second by spinners letting two roving run through the guide; third, by one end catching on to another and running on to the bobbin; fourth, sometimes where there is two ends on one boss, one end will break and catch onto the other and spin. If the trouble is in the spinning, you untwist the thread and you will find two threads instead of one. If not two threads, the trouble is in the carding room. ”

“ How to avoid making lap waste in spinning room. By keeping spinners where their work is, and by not giving spinners any more work than they can keep up. By having good doffers and good starters. If doffers and starters are not good they will make more waste than their wages will come to. Doffers should wind the thread four times around the bobbin. Starters should not wind on to bobbins when there is yarn on to piece up by. ”

“ New rolls should always be put in the front, poorest ones in the back. New rolls should always be calipered at each end; if they do not caliper the same at each end of the roll, the roll should not be used, as it would spoil the yarn, and spinners could not keep up their ends. New rolls should be oiled when they are put in to run. ”

“ The first frame should be filled to a gauge astride the bobbin. Do not go by the clock, as the yarn is sometimes heavy. This gauge is the best guide I ever had in doffing.
SPEED OF CYLINDER.
26. How to get speed of cylinder. See what main line runs; then get diameter of counter pulley that carries the cylinder below. The pulley above is called a driver. Then multiply the speed of main line by diameter of counter pulley that carries the cylinder, and divide that by the diameter of the pulley that is on the cylinder, which is called the driven. ”
