Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cotton Combing Machines There can he no doubt that the Heilmann Comber has exercised a most important influence upon the spinning of fine cotton yarns, and high-class yarns of lower numbers, during the fifty years of its existence. It would appear that Heilmann, of Muhlhausen, had so perfected his comber as to make it a practical success, a short time before the great London Exhibition of 1851, and it there attracted a considerable amount of attention on the part of spinners and machine makers. Many of these gentlemen were so favourably impressed with Heilmann's Comber that, amongst them, an important syndicate was formed, and the patent rights of the comber were purchased by this syndicate. For many years the eminent firm of Messrs. Hetherington, of Manchester, exercised the sole privilege of making the cotton comber, and by this firm it was brought to a high degree of perfection. At the expiration of the patent rights the eminent cotton machine making firms of Messrs. Dobson & Barlow, of Bolton, and Messrs. Platt Brothers, of Oldham, also took up the manufacture of the Heilmann Cotton Comber, and both these firms have vastly aided in perfecting its constructional details. Messrs. Asa Lees & Co., of Oldham, have also quite recently begun to manufacture the Heilmann Single Nip Comber, along with the Sliver and Ribbon Lap Machines.
