KITSON, Mechanic 4, Granville Terrace Holbeck Leeds in the County of York do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
We apply additional circle combs in the interior of the smaller circle combs
on the Nobles or any combing machines. The pins of the additional circle combs
are close to the pins at the tangent point of the present circle combs where the
wool is put into the large and small circle combs; we feed the wool over on to the
additional inner circle combs; thereby feeding double the quantity of wool on to
the machine. The wool is combed and drawn off the additional circle combs ; in
the usual way.
We wish it to be distinctly understood we claim applying additional circle combs,
in the interior of the small circle combs on any combing machine.

Terrace, Holbeck, Leeds, County of York, 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 :-
We apply additional circle combs in the interior or exterior of the smaller circle
combs, on the Nobles or any combing machines. The pins of the additional circle
combs are close to the pins at the tangent point of the present circle combs, where
the wool is put into the large and small circle combs.
We feed the wool over on
to the additional inner circle combs thereby feeding a greater quantity of wool on
to the machine. The wool is combed and drawn off the additional circle combs in
the usual way.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this
Specification.
Fig. 1. is a plan showing positions of combs, drawing off rollers, & leathers
or sheets.
Letter A represents the present large circle comb, in the interior of which are
2 smaller circle combs B. We place 2 additional small circle combs C in the
interior of present circle combs B, all revolving in the same direction as at present,
the wool is fed over the 3 combs at the tangent point K, and pressed into the combs
by the usual means, it is then combed and drawn off by the usual drawing off
rollers D, & formed into slivers E, which may be united into one or more, passing
thence to the ordinary balling head or other apparatus as at present.
