Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Cards. Cylinders of various sizes and in certain cases
						  flats covered with card clothing and set in relation to each other so that
						  fibers in staple form may be separated into individual relationship.
Card Clothing. The material with which many of the
						  surfaces of a card are covered; e.g., the cylinder, doffer, etc. It consists of
						  a thick foundation material, usually made of textile fabrics, through which are
						  pressed many fine, closely spaced, specially bent wires.
Comber. A machine for combing fibers of cotton, wool,
						  etc. The essential parts are a device for feeding forward a fringe of fibers at
						  regular intervals and an arrangement of combs or pins which, at the right time,
						  pass through the fringe. All tangled fibers, short fibers, and neps are removed
						  and the long fibers are laid parallel.
Drying Cans. Hollow cylindrical drums mounted in a
						  frame so they can rotate. They are heated with steam and are used to dry
						  fabrics or yarn as it passes around the perimeter of the can.
Dye Jig. A machine for dyeing piece goods. The cloth,
						  at full width, passes from a roller through the dye liquor in an open vat and
						  is then wound on another roller. The operation is repeated until the desired
						  shade is obtained.
Garnett Machine. Any of a number of types of machines
						  for opening hard twisted waste of wool, cotton, silk, etc. Essentially, such
						  machines consist of a licker-in; one or more cylinders, each having a
						  complement worker and stripper rolls; and a fancy roll and doffer. The action
						  of such machines is somewhat like that of a wool card, but it is much more
						  severe in that the various rolls are covered with garnett wire instead of card
						  clothing.
Loom. A machine for effecting the interlacing of two
						  series of yarns crossing one another at right angles. The warp yarns are wound
						  on a warp beam and pass through heddles and reed. The filling is shot across in
						  a shuttle and settled in place by reed and lay, and the fabric is wound on a
						  cloth beam.
Nip. The point of contact between two in-running
						  rolls.
Ribbon Lapper. A machine used to prepare laps for
						  feeding a cotton comb; its purpose is to provide a uniform lap in which the
						  fibers have been straightened as much as possible.
Shearer. A machine used in shearing cloth. Cutting
						  action is provided by a number of steel blades spirally mounted on a roller.
						  The roller rotates in close contact with a fixed ledger blade. There may be
						  from one to six such rollers on a machine.
Sliver Lapper. A machine in which a number of parallel
						  card slivers are drafted slightly, laid side by side in a compact sheet, and
						  wound into a cylindrical package.
Warper. Any machine for preparing and arranging the
						  yarns intended for the warp of a fabric, specifically, a beam warper.
