It consists of the Fallers being grooved, recessed or cut out hollow to receive the
hackle gills, these said hackle gills being drilled & pierced through with steel pins
or needles and are made with middle or centre ribs standing out at right angles on
the opposite or contrary side of hackle gills to the steel pins or needles and running
full length of hackle gills suiting the grooves in Fallers and are fitted into the

I, MOSES HOLROYD of 46 Bottomley Street Bradford in the County of York
Machine Wool Comb Maker 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 :-
It consists of the fallers which are made of iron or steel having longitudinal groove
or grooves milled or cut out in the center or middle of faller corresponding as female
to receive when fitied together the improved male hackle gill or gills made with center
or middle rib projecting or standing out longitudinally and at right angle to bottom
or opposite side of gill stock having steel gill pins or needles standing out through
gill stock, this male hackle gill rib is fitted into female groove of faller, drilled and
rivetted crossway together with 2, 3, 4 or more cheese or square lieaded rivetts as
occassion may require. These said male ribbed hackle gills are made of cast or rolled
brass, cast malleable iron or steel forged or rolled iron or steel, the ribs of these said
male hackle gills are milled or planed and fitted into corresponding female grooves
of faller and afterwards drilled and rivetted firmly together. In order that my
invention may be better understood I have hereunto appended explanatory drawings.
Sheet 1. Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8.
Figure 1. represents a front elevation of faller A with ribbed hackle gill or gills B.
fitted, drilled and rivetted crossway together at D.
Figure 2. represents sectional elevation of faller A with hackle gill B. rib fitted
into groove of faller E and rivetted together at D.
Figure 3. is an elevation of ribbed backle gill B. with rib C. full length of gill and
at right angle to stock B.
Figure 4. is a section of hackle gill showing rib and steel pins or needles standing
out from opposite side to rib.
Figure 5 represents single faller A fitted together with hackle gill B.
Figure 6. is a plan of grooved faller A with longitudinal groove E.
Figure 7 is a curved faller fitted with hackle gill ribbed.

page_text: Figure 8 represents faller and hackle gill rivett D with turned square or cheese
head.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim,
is; viz. :
First. The novelty of grooved out faller and ribbed hackle gill milled and fitted
tightly together.
Second. The drilling through faller and hackle gill crossway and rivetted together.
Thirdly. The cheese or square turned headed rivets used in rivetting.
