Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Practical Cotton Spinner, and Manufacturer: The Managers', Overlookers', And Mechanics' Companion, a Comprehensive System of Calculations of Mill Gearing and Machinery, From the Primary Moving Power, Through the Different Processes of Carding, Drawing, Slubbing, Roving, Spinning, and Weaving, With Several publications on Cotton Spinning have appeared, the merits of which it is not my intention to discuss. As a practical working man, I may however observe, that those which have come under my notice are, to a considerable extent, destitute of much practical utility. The systems they contain of making the calculations, are not sufficiently explicit, and hence can never achieve the great and important object of combining practice with theory, which is so essential, particularly to managers and overlookers. The present work contains every necessary calculation connected with the most recent improvements in the machinery employed in the spinning and manufacturing business. The rules, examples, and illustrations are simple and easily understood; so much so that any person having a knowledge of the elementary rules of arithmetic may, without difficulty, by a little attention to the rules and examples, prepare himself to fill the important situation of overlooker or manager in any department of the spinning and manufacturing business. The rules and examples are all original, and have been reduced to practice with great care. Calculations relative to the machinery used in the spinning and manufacturing of all fibrous substances, are attainable by the rules established in this work, so that it will be found equally beneficial to those engaged in the spinning and manufacturing of silk, flax, worsted, and wool. Compendious tables are arranged, accompanied with rules, examples, and illustrations, to show the size, girt, hank, or proportion of hank, in every operation.
