Improvements in Scribbling Machinery.
We, PAUL SCHOLES, Manufacturer, and SAM FEARNLEY, Scribbling Over-
looker, both of Quarry Mills, Morley, near Leeds, in the County of York, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention, to be as follows:-
Our invention has reference to that class of scribbling machinery in which what
is known in the art as the "Scotch Feed" is employed.
According to our improvements instead of the oscillating comb operated by crank
motion we employ a card clothed roller revolving in contact with the doffer; this
roller acts as a stripper by removing the material or sliver from the doffer. The
material or sliver then passes over the said stripper and down between it and a
roller at the side of the said stripper onto a travelling apron which carries it forward
under a fluted roller, or roller having vanes or ribs thereon, on to the overhead
travelling apron communicating with the travelling carriage of the condenser
machine.
At the side of the roller against the said stripper is another roller which acts as
a clearing roller by removing any sliver or material which comes over the roller
next to the said stripper.

cating with the travelling carriage of the condenser machine.
At the side of the roller C against the said stripper A is another roller E, which
acts as a clearing roller by removing any sliver or material which comes over the
roller C next to the said stripper.
The rollers A, C, and E are journaled in bearings F, and are adjustable relatively
to each other by means of screws G and nuts H, the roller C being adjustable
vertically by screws F¹ and nut G¹.
The roller A is driven from the shaft of the doffer B by means of wheel J
gearing with the wheel K upon the doffer shaft. The said wheel J is carried upon
a stud L fixed in a bracket L' which also carries another wheel M which gears
with a pinion N upon the shaft A' of the roller A. The shaft A carries a further
wheel which gears with a wheel P (by means of pinion R) upon the shaft C¹ of
the roller C. The said pinion R is carried upon a stud S fixed in a bracket T
which is adjustable by means of slot U, nut V, and bolt W, so as to bring the
teeth of the pinion R'in gear or out of gear with those of the wheels O and P, as
required.
The roller E is driven from the shaft of the "fancy" roller by means of band or
strap X and pulley Y upon the shaft Z of the said roller E.
By our said invention a finer and much better sliver is obtained than has hitherto
been produced by the "Scotch Feed."
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 :-
1. In scribbling machinery, the combination with the card clothed or filleted
roller A, for stripping the material from the doffer B, of a roller C for removing
the said material from the roller A and causing it to pass in a fleece or sliver in the
form of a ribbon of wool, on to a travelling apron or lattice D, substantially as and
for the purposes set forth.
2. In scribbling machinery, the combination with a card clothed or filleted
roller A, for stripping the material from the doffer B, and a roller C for removing
the said material from the roller A and causing it to pass in a fleece or sliver in the
form of a ribbon of wool, of a roller E for removing any material which comes over
roller C, such as shown and described.
