Improvements in or relating to Spinning certain Cotton Yarns.
We, JAMES HENRY LEES-MILNE, of Crompton Hall, Shaw near Oldham, in
the County of Lancaster, Cotton Spinner, and MAX BAERLEIN, of 12 Blackfriars
Street, Salford, Manchester, in the said County, Merchant, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to the invention for which we applied for Letters Patent
numbered 13290 on 10th July 1895 and which in our Provisional Specification
we described as consisting in running on the drawing frame along with the sliver
of cotton one or more ends of dyed roving produced on slubbing intermediate or
roving frames.
Our present improvements consist in performing this operation in the carding
engine instead of in the drawing frame, that is to say, we combine an end or two or
more ends of dyed roving with the cotton so that the two pass through and after
carding run off together from the carding engine in any convenient manner,
and we subsequently treat the blended dyed roving and cotton slivers in order
to produce mixed or mottled yarn substantially as described in our aforesaid
Specification.
The combination of cotton and dyed roving may be effected on the lap part of
the scutcher, on a Derby doubler or other suitable machine or on the feed table of
the carding engine.

Improvements in or relating to Spinning certain Cotton Yarns.
We, JAMES HENRY LEES-MILNE, of Crompton Hall, Shaw near Oldham, in
the County of Lancaster, Cotton Spinner, and MAX BAERLEIN, of 12 Blackfriars
Street, Salford, Manchester, in the said County, Merchant, 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 :-
Our invention relates to the invention for which we applied for Letters Patent
numbered 13290 on 10th July 1895 and which in the Provisional Specification of the
aforesaid application we described as consisting in running on the drawing frame
along with the sliver of cotton one or more ends of dyed roving produced on
slubbing intermediate or roving frames.
Our present improvements consist in performing this operation in the carding
engine instead of in the drawing frame, that is to say, we combine an end or two or
more ends of dyed roving with the cotton lap so that the two pass through and
after carding run off together from the carding engine in any convenient manner,
and we subsequently treat the blended dyed roving and cotton slivers in order to
produce mixed or mottled yarn by the ordinary processes of cotton spinning.

the carding engine.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inveu-
tiou and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is:-
1. Passing through the carding engine along with the cotton to be carded any
number of threads of dyed roving produced on slubbing, intermediate or roving
frames and subsequently finishing by the ordinary processes of cotton spinning so
as to produce a mixed or mottled yarn.
2. A mixed or mottled yarn produced by passing through the carding engine
along with the cotton to be carded any number of threads of dyed roving and
subsequently finishing by the ordinary processes of cotton spinning.
