My invention consists of an improved combination of a metal guide plate
carrying porcelain eyes which are at present carried in wood top boards in yarn

The method of securing the porcelain eye is as follows, the metal guide plate is
drilled for the reception of a porcelain eye, and slotted for a thread way, under-
neath the said guide plate, and at each of the said openings are fixed hard
metal cups.
The hard metal cups receive the porcelain eye and the two are firmly secured
underneath the said guide plate.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Top Boards or Guide Plates of Spinning and
Twisting Frames.
CHARLES BRIGG of 781, Manchester Road, Bradford in the County of
York, Mill Furnisher, 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 :-
My invention consists of an improved combination of a metal guide plate for
carrying porcelain eyes which are at present carried in wood top boards on yarn
spinning and twisting frames.
I carry out my improvement in the metal top boards by introducing one or more
corrugations which allows of the metal to be made much lighter for the reception
of the porcelain eyes.
My method of securing the porcelain eyes are carried out as follows.
The metal guide plates are drilled for the reception of porcelain eyes, and are
slotted from the edge of the plate to the hole for a thread way, underneath the said
plain or corrugated metal guide plates, and at each of the said openings, are
fixed hard metal cups or caps, which act as holders and protectors for the porcelain
eyes.
The hard metal cups, caps, or protectors receive the porcelain eyes, and the two
are firmly secured or fixed underneath the said plain or corrugated metal guide
plates, by means of bolts, screws or rivets.
The combination of the plain or corrugated metal guide plates, cups, caps or
protectors so fixed underneath the said metal guide plates so protect the porcelain
eves from damage

accompanying drawings.
