Improvements relating to the Spinning and Bleaching of Yarns.
I, James Henry LEES-MILNE, of Crompton Hall, Shaw, near Oldham, in the
County of Lancaster, Cotton Spinner, do hereby declare the nature of this in-
vention to be as follows:- -
My invention relates to the spinning and bleaching of yarns and the chief object
of my improvements is to prevent the bottoms of the cops being damaged by
crushing whether the cops have been spun upon the ordinary paper tube or upon
the bare spindle.
To overcome the difficulties mentioned 1 propose, when spinning cops to be sub-
sequently bleached, to employ metal tubes preferably either perforated or corru-
guted upon which the cop bottoms are spun; such cops can be freely handled
through the bleaching operation and then can be readily skewered in the subɛe-
quent operations of winding or doubling.
The perforated or corrugated tubes prevent damage by crushing and also serve
to keep a passage open for the bleaching liquor.

Improvements relating to the Spinning and Bleaching of Yarns. '
I, JAMES HENRY LEES-MILNE, of Crompton Hall, Shaw, near Oldham, in the
County of Lancaster, Cotton Spinner, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention relates to the spinning and bleaching of yarns and the chief object
of my improvements is to prevent the bottoms of the cops being damaged by
crushing whether the cops have been spun upon the ordinary paper tube or upon
the bare spindle.
To overcome the difficulties mentioned 1 propose, when spinning cops to be sub-
sequently bleached, to employ metal tubes preferably either perforated or corru-
gated upon which the cop bottoms are spun; such cops can be freely handled
Through the bleaching operation and then can be readily skewered in the subse-
quent operations of winding or doubling.
The perforated or corrugated tubes prevent damage by crushing and also serve
to keep a passage open for the bleaching liquor.
In carrying out my invention I employ metal tubes preferably perforated or

page_text: corrugated, of suitable size for the purpose; these metal tubes are placed upon
the spindles of the mule or other spinning machine on which the bottoms of the
cops to be subsequently bleached are spun.
The perforated or corrugated tubes prevent damage to the cop bottoms by
crushing and also serve to keep a passage open for the bleaching liquor: such
cops can be freely handled through the bleaching operation and then can be
readily skewered in the subsequent operation of winding or doubling.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:-
The use and application of perforated or corrugated metal tubes upon which the
bottoms of cops are to be spun to strengthen and improve such cops for the subse-
quent operation of bleaching substantially as and for the purpose herein described.
