Abstract: 5222. Stewart, D. March 2. Winding-machines; stop-motions; creel arrangements.-Two or more threads drawn from bobbins 1, 2, 3, Fig. 1, mounted on a rack 4, are wound simultaneously upon the spool 5. The threads pass through the eyes 6. 7, 8 of horizontal detector levers 10, 11, 12, and then through a common guide 14 to the traversing- guide 16. When a thread breaks, the corresponding detector lever falls and moves a pin 18 carried bv a depending piece 17 into contact with a plate 19 hung by means of a "rod 20 from the spool carrier 21. The plate has on its back a projection 24, which is thus moved into the path of a reciprocating trip-lever 23 operated by an eccentric 27. The trip-lever pulls down the plate 19 and moves the spool carrier 21 on its pivot 22, raising the spool from the driving-drum 25. To allow a broken thread to be spliced, or an empty bobbin to be replaced by a full one, there is provided a counterbalanced lever 29 having at its end a cross-pin 30 which can be moved into position to support the detector levers 10, 11, 12 in their non-tripping position. Weighted drag levers 9, pivoted on the rack 4, are provided for each bobbin.

Trials of, apparatus for making.-The two wheels A of the vehicle, or the two parts B of the divided axle are coupled to two powerabsorbing devices F, which are geared together by means of a divided secondary shaft K', which ensures that the devices F absorb equal power. Gearing R connects the devices F to the parts of the shaft K<1>, the two velocityratios differing slightly so that the two wheels of the vehicle rotate at slightly different speeds, the object being to test the differential gear. Each of the drums F is provided with two levers X, X<1> connected to the ends of two equalizing-levers W, S having automatically adjustable pivots at their centres which ensure equal distribution of power between the two drums.
