out to admit of a much larger Bobbin than now in use without increasing the size of
the Carriage.
Another part of my Invention relates to an Improvement in Combs (as used in
conjunction with the Carriage) part of which is recessed or made narrower to allow of
the extra circle, or section of the circle on the Carriage passing freely in the Combs
when at work in the Machine. .

piece A. A. partially round the opening in which the Bobbin works.
Fig. 2 represents a Comb, (used in conjunction with the aforesaid Carriage) which is

round the opening of the Carriage in which the Bobbin works, as herein before
described.
(2) The form or shape of the Comb (as used in conjunction with the aforesaid
