Over the slip, the creel A<1>, Fig. 3, is arranged horizontally. The threads H are led from the cheeses F through guide eyes D<1> on the tension board D, and the delivery of the threads is assisted by passing them over a roller E which may be positively driven. The creel peg may be provided with a flange C<3> to engage an internal recess in the end of the bobbin &c. Any slack in the yarn is taken up at the end of the outward run, and is gradually let out again at the commencement of the next outward run by the device shown in Fig. 6. A spring - controlled lever M, mounted on a spindle M' in bearings on the creel A, is provided with a bowl O adapted to engage with a guide L carried on the framework. During the outward run, the bowl O runs along the underside of the guide L, but at the end of the run, the bowl 0 escapes from the guide and the spring N tilts the lever M and rotates the spindle M<1>, which also carries wires P supporting a cross-wire P<1> running the length of the creel. The cross-wire P' contacts with the threads H and raises them, taking-up any slack. The bowl 0 runs back, during the inward run, over the top of the guide, and at the end of the run tilts and runs over a pivoted one-way catch L<1>. At the commencement of the outward run, the bowl 0 contacts with the catch L<1> and is depressed below the guide L, thereby lowering the wire P' and gradually letting out the slack.

Abstract: 26,350. Royce, F. H., and Rolls-Royce, Ltd. Nov. 17. Variable-speed and reversing epicyclic gearing comprising a clutch for direct driving and three epicyclic trains for obtaining two reduced speeds and reversed driving, as described in Specification 28,114/12, is modified so that the two trains for obtaining the forward speeds can turn solid when the driven shaft is at rest. This reduces noise when a motor-vehicle with this gearing is standing still, the driving-element being in motion. To the driving-shaft b are secured the sun-gear a of the lowest-speed train and the annulus o of the middle-speed train. Planetgears c meshing with the gear a are connected by a sleeve h with the other planet-gears l, and are also connected by a sleeve e<2> to the sungear t of the reversing-train. A brake j is applied to an annulus f for the lowest speed. A brake r is applied, for the middle speed, to a drum p, which is in sliding connexion with a sun-gear k. For the solid drive, the drum p is slid into engagement with a clutch surface s on the carrier e of the pinions c. The gear t slides on the sleeve e<2>, and for all the forward speeds the drive passes through clutch teeth g on its end engaging teeth on the end of the driven shaft x. When the teeth e are out of engagement, the trains a, c, f and k, l, o may turn solid while the shaft x is at rest. As the gear t slides, it carries with it planet-gears u, which remain in mesh with an annulus w secured to the shaft x. Reversed driving takes place when clutch teeth z on the carrier v of the gears u become engaged with fixed teeth z<1>.
