PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Cotton Cords.
We HENRY ORMEROD HUTCHINSON and W. & J. HUTCHINSON, LIMITED,
both of Daisy Field Mill Bury in the County of Lancaster, Cotton Spinners
and Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
"
This invention consists in a new and improved method of weaving certain cotton
cords known in the trade as "Patents and "Broken twill backs," whereby we
are enabled to obtain an improved "curl" in the finished cloth.
For the purposes of our invention we employ two different warps, one for the
face ends and the other for the back ends. The warp for the face ends may be
one, two three, or four fold, and may be drawn-in one or two or more in the heald.
The warp for the back ends is composed of yarn two or more fold, with an
increased amount of twist therein, and resembling what is known in the trade as
crape" yarn, and may be drawn in one or two or more in the heald as may be
preferred.

The patterns are so designed and the tappets are so arranged as to make
eighteen picks of weft to the round, six of which are foundation or back picks
and the remaining twelve are face picks. We annex hereunto (by way of example)
two diagrams illustrating our invention, being weaver's drafts for producing our
improved cotton cords, the style of cloth produced thereby being what is known in
the trade as "Patents or "Broken twill-backs" 18 to the round, with the addition
of the improved "curl."
We are aware that certain fabrics known as "Twill-backs" have been woven in
a somewhat similar manner and we therefore make no claim to the general
application of this method of weaving, but only to the particular application
thereof as hereinbefore described.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Cotton Coras.
We HENRY ORMEROD HUTCHINSON and W. & J. HUTCHINSON, LIMITED,
both of Daisy Field Mill, Bury, in the County of Lancaster, Cotton Spinners and
Manufacturers, 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 :-
This invention consists of a new and improved method of weaving certain cotton
cords known in the trade as "Patents" and "Broken twill backs" whereby we are
enabled to obtain an improved "curl" in the finished cloth.
For the purposes of our invention we employ two different warps one for the
face ends, and the other for the back ends, the warp for the face ends may be

page_text: made of either single yarn, or of two or more fold yaru, or mixed threads of each,
and may be drawn in one or two or more in the heald.
"
The warp for the back ends may be made also of either single yarn or yarn
loubled two or more fold, or mixed threads of each, with an increased amount of
twist therein and resembling what is known in the trade as Crape yarn," and the
extra twist may be put in, in any manner which may be most convenient, either by
an increased amount of turns per inch in the spinning or doubling, or by the
method known in the trade as "Twist on twist," that is, by the turns of twist in the
doubling being put in the same direction or to the same hand as the turns in
the single yarn, whether to the right or left as the case may be. These back ends
may also be drawn in one or two or more in the heald as may be preferred.
The patterns are so designed and the tappets are so arranged as to make
eighteen picks of weft to the round, six of which are foundation or back picks and
the remaining twelve are face picks as will be seen on reference to the two
diagrams illustrating our invention annexed to our Provisional Specification (by
way of example), being weavers' drafts for producing our improved cotton cords,
the style of cloth produced thereby being known in the trade as " Patents " or
"Broken twill backs 18 to the round with the addition of the greatly improved
curl.
"
We are aware that certain fabrics known as "Twill-backs" have been woven in
a somewhat similar manner and we therefore make no claim to the general
application of this method of weaving but only to the particular application
thereof as hereinbefore set forth.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is
The application of the improved system of weaving cotton cords eighteen to the
round in combination with the greatly increased amount of twist substantially as
and for the purposes hereinbefore described.
