PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION
Improvements in Fallers for Drawing and Combing Silk, Wool, and
other Fibres
We HERBERT ARMITAGE and GEORGE HILL both of Brooksmouth Mills
Brighouse in the County of York, Silk Spinners, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention, to be as follows
The object of our invention is to construct the fallers for drawing and combing
silk, wool, and other fibies so as to dispense with soldering the gills to the fallers,
and prevent the frequent breakage of same
We fix the pins of the fallers into a brass or other soft metal gill, by the
ordinary means, the gill has preferably a double flange on its underside, and fits on
to central flange on the steel faller to which it is screwed or rivetted, and may
be dovetailed or fit under projections at the faller ends, or the gill may overlap at
the ends and be secured by screws or may be secured in any other suitable manner,
so as to dispense with the soldering and be easy to take out and replace
Gills so made and secured to their fallers seldom or ever break, and the pins of
same when worn or injured are readily taken out and replaced
