Complete Specification Left, 1st June, 1900-Accepted, 14th July, 1900
I, JAMES HENRY LEES-MILNE, of Crompton Hall, Shaw, near Oldham, in the
County of Lancaster, Cotton Spinner, do hereby declare the nature of this in-
vention to be as follows.-
-
My invention consists in improvements relating to the winding and bleaching
of yarns
My improvements consist of a further application and development of the in-
vention for which Letters Patent numbered 7685 were granted to me on the 17th
April 1895
In carving my invention into effect I employ the usual winding alboi or
spindle and preferably also the usual paper or wooden bobbin but according to
my present improvements I employ in addition a perforated tube constructed
substantially as described in the specification to my aforesaid patent and adapted
te fit over and bind firmly upon the ordinary paper or wooden bobbin or it might
be put directly upon the winding arbor or spindle or used without arbor or
spindle. I wind the vain in the form of bobbins or cheeses upon these pel-
forated tubes and when doffed with the said tubes they can be readily bleached
in a vacuum kie as the perforations enable the bleaching liquor to thoroughly
permeate and penetrate to the centre of each bobbin on cheese which is not the
case when the latter are wound upon the ordinary paper or wooden tubes
