Thirty Years
Though the system OF American
wool carding has not changed since
1860. great improvements have been
made in the character OF the machin-
cry used.
In 1860 most OF the carding ma
chimes were mounted on wooden
frames and were of small size. the
main cylinders being forty inches wide
and forty-two inches in diameter.
while the new machines are made
with iron frames with the main cylin-
der not less than forty eight inches in
width and diameter and not intre-
quen,ly sixty inches in width and
forty eight fifty -four or sixty inches
in diameter. Tho tendency is still to
larger machines.
During the civil war few iron
dotTers and shippers began to be
made. after which tho workers were
made OF iron. TO be followed by iron
chain cylinders The consequence of
these changes has been not only
larger but heavier machines. A set
of machines formerly weighed about
z, 800 pounds now the weight is
More expensive work is now put
into them. Tho tops OF the iron
frames are planned and the arches are
planed and nicely nd listed TO the

machinery is now largely built in this
country. The worstcd card of the
best quality consists OF what is termed
n breast having several workers on
it. and two main cylinders and two
large doifers. Sometimes instead of
breast large licierins are used.

manufacturers who believe that they

The mechanism for self-fecding on
the first breaker was wholly unknown
in 1860. The progress that has
been made within this period has
been very marked not only in the
carding but in the spinning process.
Perfection of movements automatic

machine builders.
