PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Preparing, Spinning, Doubling, and Twisting Cotton
and other Fibrous Materials.
We HUGH STEVENSON, of 71 Silver Street, Portland Street, Box Manufacturer'
JOHN WEBB, of 112 Grosvenor Street, All Saints, Manufacturer, and SAM HALLAM'
of 29 Clitheroe Street, Slade Lane, Longsight; Engineer, all in Manchester, in the
County of Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of said Invention for IMPROVE-
MENTS IN PREPARING SPINNING, DOUBLING AND TWISTING COTTON AND OTHER FIBROUS
MATERIALS, to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in preparing spinning, doubling and
twisting cotton and other fibrous materials and consists essentially in putting in the
twist into the roving or yarn being wound on the spindle, tube or bobbin at a point
between the drawing rollers and the flyer or ring and traveller.
This is effected by means of a revolving device which carries a wire or its
equivalent round which the roving or yarn is taken, say once, as it passes from the
drawing rollers to the flyer or ring and traveller, but we would have it clearly under-
stood that we do not tie ourselves to any particular form of revolving device.
The special advantages attained by our Invention are, that the yarn is more evenly
twisted because the twist is put in independently of the flyer or ring and traveller, all
the twist being put into the yarn before it reaches the flyer or ring and traveller, the
yarn is better able to withstand the unequal pull or draw it receives while being
wound on, and consequently the machine can be run at a higher speed than usual
whereby its production is increased.

We HUGH STEVENSON of 71 Silver Street Portland Street Box Manufacturer JOHN
WEBB of 112 Grosvenor Street All Saints Manufacturer and SAM HALLAM of
29 Clitheroe Street Slade Lane Longsight Engineer all in Manchester in the County
of Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of said Invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
PREPARING SPINNING DOUBLING AND TWISTING COTTON AND OTHER FIBROUS MATERIALS,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to improvements in preparing spinning doubling and twisting
cotton and other fibrous materials and consists essentially in putting in the twist into
the roving or yarn being wound on the spindle tube or bobbin at a point between the
drawing rollers and the Hyer or ring and traveller.
This is effected by means of a revolving device which carries a wire or its equivalent
round which the roving or yarn is taken say once as it passes from the drawing
rollers to the flyer or ring and traveller.
Suitable forms of revolving devices for carrying our Invention into effect are
described in the Specifications to the following Patents granted to us namely No. 13440
A.D. 1885 and No. 4995 A.D. 1886 but we would have it clearly understood that
we do not tie ourselves to these or any particular form of revolving device.
The special advantages attained by our Invention are that the yarn is more evenly
twisted because the twist is put in independently of the flyer or ring and traveller all
the twist being put into the yarn before it reaches the flyer or ring and traveller the
yarn is better able to withstand the unequal pull or draw it receives while being
wound on and consequently the machine can be run at a higher speed than usual
whereby its production is increased.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said Invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we claim is―
In preparing spinning doubling and twisting cotton and other fibrous materials
putting the twist into the roving or yarn being wound on to a bare spindle or on to a
tube or bobbin at a point between the drawing rollers and the flyer or ring and
traveller by means of a suitable revolving device substantially as herein set forth for
the purposes specified.
