PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Raising or Gig Mills.
I, HENRY MORTON of the firm of Messrs. Morton, Son and Co. of Heckmond-
wike in the County of York, Ironfounders and Machine Makers, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
I employ on the oscillating carriage of my gig mill, two small raising cylinders
instead of one large raising cylinder, upon the peripheries of which are spiral or
other cards; such cylinders being run at a higher speed than heretofore, by which
means double the quantity of goods can be raised with more uniformity of the
texture, or nap; a brush is placed over the raising rollers so as to continually clean
both cylinders. The pieces only require to be put through the machine half the
usual number of times.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Raising or Gig Mills.
I, HENRY MORTON of the firm of Messrs. Morton, Son, and Co. of Heckmond-
wike in the County of York, Ironfounders and Machine Makers do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
I employ on the oscillating carriage of my gig mill two small raising cylinders
instead of one large raising cylinder, upon the peripheries of which are spiral or
other cards, such cylinders being run at a higher rate of speed than heretofore, by
which means double the quantity of goods can be raised with more uniformity of
the pile, texture or nap; a brush is placed over the raising rollers so as to con-
tinually clean both cylinders. The pieces only require to be put through the
machine half the usual number of times.
And in order that my invention and the manner in which the same is to be
performed may be more readily and clearly understood I have annexed hereto the
accompanying drawing which is a perspective view of a raising or gig mill con-
structed in accordance with my invention.
In this a a are the two ends of the oscillating carriage, which is moved back-
wards and forwards by means of the eccentrics b b, mounted on the driving shaft c.
dd are the two raising cylinders, preferably smaller in diameter than the ordinary
single cylinder, and the cloth or material to be raised is passed under these. These
raising cylinders d d are driven by pulleys ee from the large pulley f. 9 is the
brush cylinder placed over the raising cylinders so as to continuously clean them.
hh are the beams, on and off which the cloth is wound and unwound, and ii are
carrying rollers over which the cloth is passed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is :-
1° In raising or gig mills the combination of an oscillating carriage with two
raising cylinders arranged to be moved to and fro across the surface of the cloth or
material to be raised or operated upon,

page_text: 2° The two oscillating end frames (or carriage) provided with two raising
cylinders and a superposed brush cylinder arranged so as to continually clean both
cylinders.
