+
+
+THE FIRST THING.
+
+1. The first thing to do when going into a strange room to take
+charge, is to learn the names and dispositions of your help, and their
+ability. By doing this it will save you some trouble. Do not turn off
+help the first day you go into a room to take charge. Get the good
+will of your help and keep them; and when they learn your ways and
+know you mean just what you say, every thing will be pleasant for them
+and you also.
+
+
+DRAUGHTS, TWISTS AND TRAVELERS.
+
+2. To see that your Draughts, Twists and Travelers are right for the
+numbers of yarns you are spinning. Travelers govern the twist. When
+the bobbins are full there is more twist in than when it first starts.
+Have them heavy enough to keep the ends straight. If Travelers are
+poor the work will run bad. Change them on fine work once in three or
+four months, clean them every doff, and touch the ring with a little
+oily waste. If Draught gears bind, spinners cannot keep their ends
+up.
+
+
+PACKING YARN ON BOBBINS.
+
+3. To see that the yarn is packed closely on the bobbin. The way to
+tell is to put an empty bobbin on, and run one layer of yarn upon it;
+if the threads do not lay close together, run your motion slower. In
+this way you get more length of yarn to the bobbin.
+
+
+THREAD GUIDES.
+
+4. To see that your thread guides are central with the bobbin below.
+If a crease has been made by the thread running through it, take it
+out and put in a new one.
+
+
+SPINDLES.
+
+5. To see that the spindles are in the center of the rings, and that
+your rings are in good condition. A poor ring will make two-thirds
+more waste than a good one, and the frame requires three times the
+cleaning that it does with a good ring. Slip your finger round inside
+of the ring; if it feels notchy the ring is poor. Take it out. Rings
+should be looked over every time you scour. That should be every six
+months. Steel rolls should be rubbed with one-twenty emery cloth once
+a year, with a little oil.
+
+
+TOP ROLLS.
+
+6. See that your top rolls are kept in good condition. Look them all
+over once a month if that will do, if not look them over oftener. New
+rolls should always be put in the front, poorest ones in the back. New
+rolls should always be calipered at each end; if they do not caliper
+the same at each end of the roll, the roll should not be used, as it
+would spoil the yarn, and spinners could not keep up their ends. New
+rolls should be oiled when they are put in to run. Neck of front rolls
+should be oiled morning and noon. All of the rolls should be oiled
+once a week. The weight should be the same on all top rolls. In order
+to do this your saddles must be all alike, and must not hug the neck
+of the roll. Stirrups should be all of the same length and style. The
+levers should be all of the same length and style; and weights should
+be all of the same heft. Stirrups must clear the rolls, and use double
+saddles. Shell rolls should be cleaned and oiled once a month, with
+lard oil. Use vinegar with one-third water to clean top rolls. Roller
+hooks should not be used on steel rolls.
+
+
+CARRYING.
+
+7. A small band carrying one spindle is better than a large band
+carrying a number of spindles. It makes better yarn, and not one-third
+the waste. Bands should be put on tight; and the spinner should call
+the band boy soon as one comes off, to put on a new one. Bands should
+all be looked over once a week, and all slack ones cut off and new
+ones put on. A slack band makes soft yarn. If your frame does not run
+up to speed, you will get soft yarn. A dry spindle will also make soft
+yarn. Keep your spindles properly oiled.
+
+
+LONG STAPLE COTTON.
+
+8. For long staple cotton you must spread the bottom and top rolls a
+little to avoid cockley yarn. Long staple cotton does not require so
+much twist on spinning as short.
+
+
+ROVING.
+
+9. Too much twist in roving makes bad yarn, and spoils the top rolls
+on spinning frames. The square root of the number is about the twist
+for roving. It gives the Carder a chance to keep up with the spinning,
+and gives the Spinner a chance to make a better quality of yarn. If
+there is too much twist in the roving, you cannot draw it on spinning
+frames without spreading the rolls; but then it will spoil the top
+rolls. Keep your numbers even if you can. Size from every fine speeder
+and average it every day, and examine the yarn every time you size, to
+see if it is good. By doing so it may save you considerable trouble.
+
+
+TWO-ROVING.
+
+10. In running two-roving together, always have them of the same
+hank, because if one is of one hank, and the other of another, there
+will be more twist in one than in the other, and will not make as good
+yarn, and will not draw as even as they would if they were of the same
+twist or hank. To know what the two hanks would be single; you must
+add the two hanks together, and divide that by four to get it single.
+
+
+DOUBLE WORK.
+
+11. The way to run double work on spinning frames. Have the white put
+in the top, if you have double creels; and colored work in the bottom.
+Piece the back roving in the top with the back roving in the bottom.
+Front in with front makes the yarn more even.
+
+
+WASTE.
+
+12. Waste must be run through the lapper all by itself, not mix it
+with the good cotton; and if one section of cards will run one lap a
+day and keep the waste up, you may run one; if it makes two laps put
+on two sections, (one lap on each section,) and the work or yarn will
+be more even.
+
+
+UNEVEN WORK.
+
+13. How to prove that uneven work is not made on spinning frames. See
+that your draught gears do not bind; if they do, you will have uneven
+yarn. Put in new rolls in front, middle and back. See that your frame
+runs up to right speed and roller belt is tight. See that the rings
+and travelers are good. See that stirrups and saddles are in place.
+Then if your yarn is uneven the trouble is in the carding room. Roving
+bobbins should be marked for each speeder; and the spinner run each
+separate on his frames. Then if you had bad work you could tell very
+quick which speeder it belonged to.
+
+
+BUNCHES.
+
+14. How bunches can be made on spinning frames. By piecing on roving
+and leaving the end to run through double. By piecing up ends and not
+twisting on smoothly. By wiping out the roving rack and the waste
+catching on the roving and running through the rolls. By wiping off
+thread-boards, waste catching on to the ends and spinning. By rolls
+not being kept clean and oiled. By spinners not being careful enough
+when they clean their rolls. By spinners brushing and cleaning their
+frames. By brushing down over head. By spinners not keeping their
+clearers clean. The carder should be just as particular about making
+his roving as the spinner is about making his yarn; then there will be
+good work all through. A dry front roll will make bunches on spinning
+frames, and will do the same on speeders. Sweepers should not blow
+their waste under the frames. Bunches can be made on spoolers by
+thread guides not being wide enough for the threads to pass through.
+A bunch will collect and stop the spool. Spooler tenders lift it over
+on to the spool.
+
+
+COARSE THREADS.
+
+15. How coarse threads are made. First, by coarse roving; second by
+spinners letting two roving run through the guide; third, by one end
+catching on to another and running on to the bobbin; fourth, sometimes
+where there is two ends on one boss, one end will break and catch onto
+the other and spin. If the trouble is in the spinning, you untwist the
+thread and you will find two threads instead of one. If not two
+threads, the trouble is in the carding room.
+
+
+CHANGING NUMBERS.
+
+16. When you change from one number to another see that the motion
+runs right to pack the yarn closely on the bobbin; then have your
+travelers just heavy enough to keep the ends straight. By running a
+heavy traveler you pack the yarn harder on the bobbin. I do not
+believe in running a traveler heavy enough to pull down the ends, but
+heavy enough to keep the ends straight.
+
+
+POOR COTTON.
+
+17. When cotton is poor you may need a little more twist in the yarn;
+sometimes when cotton is poor, the warp spinning will run bad. In this
+case you may run your warp one number heavier and mule filling one
+number lighter. Waste work requires more twist than good cotton.
+
+
+ECONOMY OF HEAVY TRAVELERS.
+
+18. It is cheaper for the company to run heavy travelers, and wind the
+yarn hard on the bobbins and spools. You get more length of yarn and a
+better quality. Will not cost so much for spooling.
+
+
+KNITTED YARN.
+
+19. If the yarn is knitted the trouble is in the carding room, as you
+cannot make knitted yarn on spinning frames.
+
+
+SNARLED YARN.
+
+20. How snarled yarn is made. By spinners not finding the end and
+breaking a thread on the bobbin to piece up by. By having the taper
+shorter on top of the bobbin than on the bottom, so when the doffers
+take the full bobbins off, the thread pulls over the top and snarls.
+To avoid the above, lower the arm where it is attached to the frame,
+(the arm that the heart rider is attached to). About one-quarter of an
+inch will be enough. You want the taper longer at the top than at the
+bottom.
+
+
+LAP WASTE.
+
+21. How to avoid making lap waste in spinning room. By keeping
+spinners where their work is, and by not giving spinners any more work
+than they can keep up. By having good doffers and good starters. If
+doffers and starters are not good they will make more waste than their
+wages will come to. Doffers should wind the thread four times around
+the bobbin. Starters should not wind on to bobbins when there is yarn
+on to piece up by.
+
+
+ROVING WASTE.
+
+22. How to avoid making roving waste in spinning room. By letting it
+all run through the rolls into yarn. All bad roving should be sent
+back into the carding room, where it belongs, every day.
+
+
+PICKING UP WASTES.
+
+23. All wastes should be picked up, looked over, weighed and carried
+off where it belongs, every day. You will find it much better than the
+old way. Not so apt to accumulate.
+
+
+COLORED WORK.
+
+24. Colored work always runs heavy. You want one tooth less draught
+change gear than your hank roving figures for. But put in the same
+twist.
+
+
+DOFFING.
+
+25. System in doffing the frames. To save making waste and trouble in
+the room, doff every other row right through, then go back and doff
+the remaining rows through. In doffing this way the spinners can tend
+more sides and not make so much waste, as any spinner knows, or ought
+to know. Frames run better when half full than on an empty bobbin. One
+frame stopped at a time to doff, is all that ought to be permitted.
+From three to four minutes is long enough time to doff any frame with
+four doffers. The first frame should be filled to a gauge astride the
+bobbin. Do not go by the clock, as the yarn is sometimes heavy. This
+gauge is the best guide I ever had in doffing.
+
+
+SPEED OF CYLINDER.
+
+26. How to get speed of cylinder. See what main line runs; then get
+diameter of counter pulley that carries the cylinder below. The pulley
+above is called a driver. Then multiply the speed of main line by
+diameter of counter pulley that carries the cylinder, and divide that
+by the diameter of the pulley that is on the cylinder, which is called
+the driven. Then to get speed of spindles, get diameter of cylinder,
+and multiply the speed of cylinder by diameter of cylinder, and
+divide that by the diameter of the whorl.
+
+
+SPEEDING PULLEYS.
+
+27. To know what pulley will drive your cylinder faster or slower.
+Multiply the speed you would like to have it run, by diameter of
+pulley overhead, that carries the cylinder, and divide that by the
+speed you are now running. Will give you pulley required.
+
+
+TAKING UP BELTS.
+
+28. To know how to take up a belt, when you change pulleys. If your
+belt is tight enough with the pulley you now have on, for every inch
+that your pulley is smaller than you now have on, take out one inch
+and three-quarters of belting. If larger, right the reverse.
+
+
+TWISTS.
+
+29. To know what number of twists to the inch, for any number of yarn.
+On warp, multiply the square root of the number by 5. Frame filling by
+4, and mule filling by 3-¼. For every ten numbers below thirty take
+away two twist to the inch. For every ten numbers above thirty, add
+two.
+
+
+SQUARE ROOT.
+
+30. Square Root of numbers from 18 to 30.--These twists are within a
+fraction.

+
+DRAUGHT FOR YARN.
+
+31. To know the draught for any number of yarn. Write the number you
+are spinning or want to spin, add two ciphers to it; divide that by
+the hank roving that you are spinning from, to get draught. Example;
+hank roving 225, No. yarn 18. Add two ciphers, (1800); divided by 225
+gives 8 draught.
+
+
+GEAR REQUIRED.
+
+32. This is the way I was taught to figure draughts of different
+numbers of yarn. If you want to run another number with the same hank
+roving, multiply the smallest draught change gear by the number you
+are spinning, and divide that by the number you want to spin, and that
+will give you the gear required.
+
+
+ROVING REQUIRED.
+
+33. If you want to spin another number with same draught, write your
+number that you want to spin (as above) and divide that by the
+draught. That will give you hank roving required.
+
+
+TO FIND DRAUGHT CHANGE GEAR.
+
+34. Rule to find the draught change gear required. When you change
+from one number to another on a frame or mule, when the draught and
+roving both have to be changed, multiply the number of the yarn being
+spun by the hank roving desired, and that product by the number of
+teeth in the draught change gear; using that for a dividend. Then
+multiply the number of the yarn desired by the hank roving, using that
+for a divisor; that product divided will tell the draught change gear
+that is required.
+
+
+TWIST GEAR.
+
+35. The way I was taught to find the twist gear by square root of the
+number of yarn. Multiply the twist gear in use by the square root of
+the number being spun, and divide that product by the square root of
+the number you want to spin. That will give you the twist gear
+required.
+
+
+TWIST PULLEY.
+
+36. To get the twist pulley for another number of yarn. See what twist
+the pulley gives that you have on, and multiply the twist that you
+have in, by the pulley that is on, and divide that product by the
+twist you would like to put in to get the pulley required.
+
+
+TWIST OF YARN.
+
+37. To know how to get the exact twist in yarn. Have your roll belt
+tight, and band also. Count the revolutions of the spindle to the
+rollers once. Divide that by the circumference of the roll, which is
+3-14/100 inches. Example. Say 86 turns to the rolls once. (3-14/100)
+86.00 turns, (27-38/100) twists to the inch.
+
+
+WEIGHT ON TOP ROLLS.
+
+38. To know the weight on top rolls. You must measure the distance
+from where the stirrup is attached to the lever to where the wire is
+attached that holds the weight; then multiply the distance by whatever
+the weight weighs, and divide that product by the exact distance from
+where the lever is attached to the set screw, to where the stirrup is
+attached.

+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
+http://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1. General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
+paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works. See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form. Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8. You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+ the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+ you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is
+ owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+ has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+ Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments
+ must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+ prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+ returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+ sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+ address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+ the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+ you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+ does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+ License. You must require such a user to return or
+ destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+ and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+ Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+ money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+ electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+ of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+ distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark. Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org. Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at http://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+ Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+ Chief Executive and Director
+ gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+<h4>THE FIRST THING.</h4>
+
+<p>1. The first thing to do when going into a strange room to take
+charge, is to learn the names and dispositions of your help, and their
+ability. By doing this it will save you some trouble. Do not turn off
+help the first day you go into a room to take charge. Get the good
+will of your help and keep them; and when they learn your ways and
+know you mean just what you say, every thing will be pleasant for them
+and you also.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_2" id="Section_2"></a><br />
+
+<h4>DRAUGHTS, TWISTS AND TRAVELERS.</h4>
+
+<p>2. To see that your Draughts, Twists and Travelers are right for the
+numbers of yarns you are spinning. Travelers govern the twist. When
+the bobbins are full there is more twist in than when it first starts.
+Have them heavy enough to keep the ends straight. If Travelers are
+poor the work will run bad. Change them on fine work once in three or
+four months, clean them every doff, and touch the ring with a little
+oily waste. If Draught gears bind, spinners cannot keep their ends
+up.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_3" id="Section_3"></a><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_8" id="Page_8">[8]</a></span><br />
+
+<h4>PACKING YARN ON BOBBINS.</h4>
+
+<p>3. To see that the yarn is packed closely on the bobbin. The way to
+tell is to put an empty bobbin on, and run one layer of yarn upon it;
+if the threads do not lay close together, run your motion slower. In
+this way you get more length of yarn to the bobbin.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_4" id="Section_4"></a><br />
+
+<h4>THREAD GUIDES.</h4>
+
+<p>4. To see that your thread guides are central with the bobbin below.
+If a crease has been made by the thread running through it, take it
+out and put in a new one.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_5" id="Section_5"></a><br />
+
+<h4>SPINDLES.</h4>
+
+<p>5. To see that the spindles are in the center of the rings, and that
+your rings are in good condition. A poor ring will make two-thirds
+more waste than a good one, and the frame requires three times the
+cleaning that it does with a good ring. Slip your finger round inside
+of the ring; if it feels notchy the ring is poor. Take it out. Rings
+should be looked over every time you scour. That should be every six
+months. Steel rolls should be rubbed with one-twenty emery cloth once
+a year, with a little oil.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_6" id="Section_6"></a><br />
+
+<h4>TOP ROLLS.</h4>
+
+<p>6. See that your top rolls are kept in good <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_9" id="Page_9">[9]</a></span>condition. Look them all
+over once a month if that will do, if not look them over oftener. New
+rolls should always be put in the front, poorest ones in the back. New
+rolls should always be calipered at each end; if they do not caliper
+the same at each end of the roll, the roll should not be used, as it
+would spoil the yarn, and spinners could not keep up their ends. New
+rolls should be oiled when they are put in to run. Neck of front rolls
+should be oiled morning and noon. All of the rolls should be oiled
+once a week. The weight should be the same on all top rolls. In order
+to do this your saddles must be all alike, and must not hug the neck
+of the roll. Stirrups should be all of the same length and style. The
+levers should be all of the same length and style; and weights should
+be all of the same heft. Stirrups must clear the rolls, and use double
+saddles. Shell rolls should be cleaned and oiled once a month, with
+lard oil. Use vinegar with one-third water to clean top rolls. Roller
+hooks should not be used on steel rolls.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_7" id="Section_7"></a><br />
+
+<h4>CARRYING.</h4>
+
+<p>7. A small band carrying one spindle is better than a large band
+carrying a number of spindles. It makes better yarn, and not one-third
+the waste. Bands should be put on tight; and the spinner should call
+the band boy soon as one comes off, to put on a new one. Bands should
+all be looked over once a week, and all slack <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_10" id="Page_10">[10]</a></span>ones cut off and new
+ones put on. A slack band makes soft yarn. If your frame does not run
+up to speed, you will get soft yarn. A dry spindle will also make soft
+yarn. Keep your spindles properly oiled.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_8" id="Section_8"></a><br />
+
+<h4>LONG STAPLE COTTON.</h4>
+
+<p>8. For long staple cotton you must spread the bottom and top rolls a
+little to avoid cockley yarn. Long staple cotton does not require so
+much twist on spinning as short.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_9" id="Section_9"></a><br />
+
+<h4>ROVING.</h4>
+
+<p>9. Too much twist in roving makes bad yarn, and spoils the top rolls
+on spinning frames. The square root of the number is about the twist
+for roving. It gives the Carder a chance to keep up with the spinning,
+and gives the Spinner a chance to make a better quality of yarn. If
+there is too much twist in the roving, you cannot draw it on spinning
+frames without spreading the rolls; but then it will spoil the top
+rolls. Keep your numbers even if you can. Size from every fine speeder
+and average it every day, and examine the yarn every time you size, to
+see if it is good. By doing so it may save you considerable trouble.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_10" id="Section_10"></a><br />
+
+<h4>TWO-ROVING.</h4>
+
+<p>10. In running two-roving together, always <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_11" id="Page_11">[11]</a></span>have them of the same
+hank, because if one is of one hank, and the other of another, there
+will be more twist in one than in the other, and will not make as good
+yarn, and will not draw as even as they would if they were of the same
+twist or hank. To know what the two hanks would be single; you must
+add the two hanks together, and divide that by four to get it single.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_11" id="Section_11"></a><br />
+
+<h4>DOUBLE WORK.</h4>
+
+<p>11. The way to run double work on spinning frames. Have the white put
+in the top, if you have double creels; and colored work in the bottom.
+Piece the back roving in the top with the back roving in the bottom.
+Front in with front makes the yarn more even.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_12" id="Section_12"></a><br />
+
+<h4>WASTE.</h4>
+
+<p>12. Waste must be run through the lapper all by itself, not mix it
+with the good cotton; and if one section of cards will run one lap a
+day and keep the waste up, you may run one; if it makes two laps put
+on two sections, (one lap on each section,) and the work or yarn will
+be more even.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_13" id="Section_13"></a><br />
+
+<h4>UNEVEN WORK.</h4>
+
+<p>13. How to prove that uneven work is not made on spinning frames. See
+that your draught gears do not bind; if they do, you will have <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_12" id="Page_12">[12]</a></span>uneven
+yarn. Put in new rolls in front, middle and back. See that your frame
+runs up to right speed and roller belt is tight. See that the rings
+and travelers are good. See that stirrups and saddles are in place.
+Then if your yarn is uneven the trouble is in the carding room. Roving
+bobbins should be marked for each speeder; and the spinner run each
+separate on his frames. Then if you had bad work you could tell very
+quick which speeder it belonged to.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_14" id="Section_14"></a><br />
+
+<h4>BUNCHES.</h4>
+
+<p>14. How bunches can be made on spinning frames. By piecing on roving
+and leaving the end to run through double. By piecing up ends and not
+twisting on smoothly. By wiping out the roving rack and the waste
+catching on the roving and running through the rolls. By wiping off
+thread-boards, waste catching on to the ends and spinning. By rolls
+not being kept clean and oiled. By spinners not being careful enough
+when they clean their rolls. By spinners brushing and cleaning their
+frames. By brushing down over head. By spinners not keeping their
+clearers clean. The carder should be just as particular about making
+his roving as the spinner is about making his yarn; then there will be
+good work all through. A dry front roll will make bunches on spinning
+frames, and will do the same on speeders. Sweepers should not blow
+their waste under the frames. Bunches can be made on spoolers by
+thread guides not being wide enough for the <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_13" id="Page_13">[13]</a></span>threads to pass through.
+A bunch will collect and stop the spool. Spooler tenders lift it over
+on to the spool.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_15" id="Section_15"></a><br />
+
+<h4>COARSE THREADS.</h4>
+
+<p>15. How coarse threads are made. First, by coarse roving; second by
+spinners letting two roving run through the guide; third, by one end
+catching on to another and running on to the bobbin; fourth, sometimes
+where there is two ends on one boss, one end will break and catch onto
+the other and spin. If the trouble is in the spinning, you untwist the
+thread and you will find two threads instead of one. If not two
+threads, the trouble is in the carding room.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_16" id="Section_16"></a><br />
+
+<h4>CHANGING NUMBERS.</h4>
+
+<p>16. When you change from one number to another see that the motion
+runs right to pack the yarn closely on the bobbin; then have your
+travelers just heavy enough to keep the ends straight. By running a
+heavy traveler you pack the yarn harder on the bobbin. I do not
+believe in running a traveler heavy enough to pull down the ends, but
+heavy enough to keep the ends straight.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_17" id="Section_17"></a><br />
+
+<h4>POOR COTTON.</h4>
+
+<p>17. When cotton is poor you may need a little <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_14" id="Page_14">[14]</a></span>more twist in the yarn;
+sometimes when cotton is poor, the warp spinning will run bad. In this
+case you may run your warp one number heavier and mule filling one
+number lighter. Waste work requires more twist than good cotton.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_18" id="Section_18"></a><br />
+
+<h4>ECONOMY OF HEAVY TRAVELERS.</h4>
+
+<p>18. It is cheaper for the company to run heavy travelers, and wind the
+yarn hard on the bobbins and spools. You get more length of yarn and a
+better quality. Will not cost so much for spooling.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_19" id="Section_19"></a><br />
+
+<h4>KNITTED YARN.</h4>
+
+<p>19. If the yarn is knitted the trouble is in the carding room, as you
+cannot make knitted yarn on spinning frames.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_20" id="Section_20"></a><br />
+
+<h4>SNARLED YARN.</h4>
+
+<p>20. How snarled yarn is made. By spinners not finding the end and
+breaking a thread on the bobbin to piece up by. By having the taper
+shorter on top of the bobbin than on the bottom, so when the doffers
+take the full bobbins off, the thread pulls over the top and snarls.
+To avoid the above, lower the arm where it is attached to the frame,
+(the arm that the heart rider is attached to). About one-quarter of an
+inch will be enough. You want the taper longer at the top than at the
+bottom.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_21" id="Section_21"></a><br />
+
+<h4><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_15" id="Page_15">[15]</a></span>LAP WASTE.</h4>
+
+<p>21. How to avoid making lap waste in spinning room. By keeping
+spinners where their work is, and by not giving spinners any more work
+than they can keep up. By having good doffers and good starters. If
+doffers and starters are not good they will make more waste than their
+wages will come to. Doffers should wind the thread four times around
+the bobbin. Starters should not wind on to bobbins when there is yarn
+on to piece up by.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_22" id="Section_22"></a><br />
+
+<h4>ROVING WASTE.</h4>
+
+<p>22. How to avoid making roving waste in spinning room. By letting it
+all run through the rolls into yarn. All bad roving should be sent
+back into the carding room, where it belongs, every day.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_23" id="Section_23"></a><br />
+
+<h4>PICKING UP WASTES.</h4>
+
+<p>23. All wastes should be picked up, looked over, weighed and carried
+off where it belongs, every day. You will find it much better than the
+old way. Not so apt to accumulate.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_24" id="Section_24"></a><br />
+
+<h4>COLORED WORK.</h4>
+
+<p>24. Colored work always runs heavy. You want one tooth less draught
+change gear than <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_16" id="Page_16">[16]</a></span>your hank roving figures for. But put in the same
+twist.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_25" id="Section_25"></a><br />
+
+<h4>DOFFING.</h4>
+
+<p>25. System in doffing the frames. To save making waste and trouble in
+the room, doff every other row right through, then go back and doff
+the remaining rows through. In doffing this way the spinners can tend
+more sides and not make so much waste, as any spinner knows, or ought
+to know. Frames run better when half full than on an empty bobbin. One
+frame stopped at a time to doff, is all that ought to be permitted.
+From three to four minutes is long enough time to doff any frame with
+four doffers. The first frame should be filled to a gauge astride the
+bobbin. Do not go by the clock, as the yarn is sometimes heavy. This
+gauge is the best guide I ever had in doffing.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_26" id="Section_26"></a><br />
+
+<h4>SPEED OF CYLINDER.</h4>
+
+<p>26. How to get speed of cylinder. See what main line runs; then get
+diameter of counter pulley that carries the cylinder below. The pulley
+above is called a driver. Then multiply the speed of main line by
+diameter of counter pulley that carries the cylinder, and divide that
+by the diameter of the pulley that is on the cylinder, which is called
+the driven. Then to get speed of spindles, get diameter of cylinder,
+and multiply the <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_17" id="Page_17">[17]</a></span>speed of cylinder by diameter of cylinder, and
+divide that by the diameter of the whorl.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_27" id="Section_27"></a><br />
+
+<h4>SPEEDING PULLEYS.</h4>
+
+<p>27. To know what pulley will drive your cylinder faster or slower.
+Multiply the speed you would like to have it run, by diameter of
+pulley overhead, that carries the cylinder, and divide that by the
+speed you are now running. Will give you pulley required.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_28" id="Section_28"></a><br />
+
+<h4>TAKING UP BELTS.</h4>
+
+<p>28. To know how to take up a belt, when you change pulleys. If your
+belt is tight enough with the pulley you now have on, for every inch
+that your pulley is smaller than you now have on, take out one inch
+and three-quarters of belting. If larger, right the reverse.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_29" id="Section_29"></a><br />
+
+<h4>TWISTS.</h4>
+
+<p>29. To know what number of twists to the inch, for any number of yarn.
+On warp, multiply the square root of the number by 5. Frame filling by
+4, and mule filling by 3-&frac14;. For every ten numbers below thirty take
+away two twist to the inch. For every ten numbers above thirty, add
+two.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_30" id="Section_30"></a><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_18" id="Page_18">[18]</a></span><br />
+
+<h4>SQUARE ROOT.</h4>
+
+<p>30. Square Root of numbers from 18 to 30.&mdash;These twists are within a
+fraction.</p>

+
+<h4>DRAUGHT FOR YARN.</h4>
+
+<p>31. To know the draught for any number of yarn. Write the number you
+are spinning or want to spin, add two ciphers to it; divide that by
+the hank roving that you are spinning from, to get draught. Example;
+hank roving 225, No. yarn 18. Add two ciphers, (1800); divided by 225
+gives 8 draught.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_32" id="Section_32"></a><br />
+
+<h4>GEAR REQUIRED.</h4>
+
+<p>32. This is the way I was taught to figure <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_19" id="Page_19">[19]</a></span>draughts of different
+numbers of yarn. If you want to run another number with the same hank
+roving, multiply the smallest draught change gear by the number you
+are spinning, and divide that by the number you want to spin, and that
+will give you the gear required.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_33" id="Section_33"></a><br />
+
+<h4>ROVING REQUIRED.</h4>
+
+<p>33. If you want to spin another number with same draught, write your
+number that you want to spin (as above) and divide that by the
+draught. That will give you hank roving required.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_34" id="Section_34"></a><br />
+
+<h4>TO FIND DRAUGHT CHANGE GEAR.</h4>
+
+<p>34. Rule to find the draught change gear required. When you change
+from one number to another on a frame or mule, when the draught and
+roving both have to be changed, multiply the number of the yarn being
+spun by the hank roving desired, and that product by the number of
+teeth in the draught change gear; using that for a dividend. Then
+multiply the number of the yarn desired by the hank roving, using that
+for a divisor; that product divided will tell the draught change gear
+that is required.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_35" id="Section_35"></a><br />
+
+<h4>TWIST GEAR.</h4>
+
+<p>35. The way I was taught to find the twist gear by square root of the
+number of yarn. Multiply <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_20" id="Page_20">[20]</a></span>the twist gear in use by the square root of
+the number being spun, and divide that product by the square root of
+the number you want to spin. That will give you the twist gear
+required.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_36" id="Section_36"></a><br />
+
+<h4>TWIST PULLEY.</h4>
+
+<p>36. To get the twist pulley for another number of yarn. See what twist
+the pulley gives that you have on, and multiply the twist that you
+have in, by the pulley that is on, and divide that product by the
+twist you would like to put in to get the pulley required.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_37" id="Section_37"></a><br />
+
+<h4>TWIST OF YARN.</h4>
+
+<p>37. To know how to get the exact twist in yarn. Have your roll belt
+tight, and band also. Count the revolutions of the spindle to the
+rollers once. Divide that by the circumference of the roll, which is
+3-14/100 inches. Example. Say 86 turns to the rolls once. (3-14/100)
+86.00 turns, (27-38/100) twists to the inch.</p>
+
+<a name="Section_38" id="Section_38"></a><br />
+
+<h4>WEIGHT ON TOP ROLLS.</h4>
+
+<p>38. To know the weight on top rolls. You must measure the distance
+from where the stirrup is attached to the lever to where the wire is
+attached that holds the weight; then multiply the distance by whatever
+the weight weighs, and divide that product by the exact distance from
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_21" id="Page_21">[21]</a></span>where the lever is attached to the set screw, to where the stirrup is
+attached.</p>

+
+
+THE FIRST THING.
+
+1. The first thing to do when going into a strange room to take
+charge, is to learn the names and dispositions of your help, and their
+ability. By doing this it will save you some trouble. Do not turn off
+help the first day you go into a room to take charge. Get the good
+will of your help and keep them; and when they learn your ways and
+know you mean just what you say, every thing will be pleasant for them
+and you also.
+
+
+DRAUGHTS, TWISTS AND TRAVELERS.
+
+2. To see that your Draughts, Twists and Travelers are right for the
+numbers of yarns you are spinning. Travelers govern the twist. When
+the bobbins are full there is more twist in than when it first starts.
+Have them heavy enough to keep the ends straight. If Travelers are
+poor the work will run bad. Change them on fine work once in three or
+four months, clean them every doff, and touch the ring with a little
+oily waste. If Draught gears bind, spinners cannot keep their ends
+up.
+
+
+PACKING YARN ON BOBBINS.
+
+3. To see that the yarn is packed closely on the bobbin. The way to
+tell is to put an empty bobbin on, and run one layer of yarn upon it;
+if the threads do not lay close together, run your motion slower. In
+this way you get more length of yarn to the bobbin.
+
+
+THREAD GUIDES.
+
+4. To see that your thread guides are central with the bobbin below.
+If a crease has been made by the thread running through it, take it
+out and put in a new one.
+
+
+SPINDLES.
+
+5. To see that the spindles are in the center of the rings, and that
+your rings are in good condition. A poor ring will make two-thirds
+more waste than a good one, and the frame requires three times the
+cleaning that it does with a good ring. Slip your finger round inside
+of the ring; if it feels notchy the ring is poor. Take it out. Rings
+should be looked over every time you scour. That should be every six
+months. Steel rolls should be rubbed with one-twenty emery cloth once
+a year, with a little oil.
+
+
+TOP ROLLS.
+
+6. See that your top rolls are kept in good condition. Look them all
+over once a month if that will do, if not look them over oftener. New
+rolls should always be put in the front, poorest ones in the back. New
+rolls should always be calipered at each end; if they do not caliper
+the same at each end of the roll, the roll should not be used, as it
+would spoil the yarn, and spinners could not keep up their ends. New
+rolls should be oiled when they are put in to run. Neck of front rolls
+should be oiled morning and noon. All of the rolls should be oiled
+once a week. The weight should be the same on all top rolls. In order
+to do this your saddles must be all alike, and must not hug the neck
+of the roll. Stirrups should be all of the same length and style. The
+levers should be all of the same length and style; and weights should
+be all of the same heft. Stirrups must clear the rolls, and use double
+saddles. Shell rolls should be cleaned and oiled once a month, with
+lard oil. Use vinegar with one-third water to clean top rolls. Roller
+hooks should not be used on steel rolls.
+
+
+CARRYING.
+
+7. A small band carrying one spindle is better than a large band
+carrying a number of spindles. It makes better yarn, and not one-third
+the waste. Bands should be put on tight; and the spinner should call
+the band boy soon as one comes off, to put on a new one. Bands should
+all be looked over once a week, and all slack ones cut off and new
+ones put on. A slack band makes soft yarn. If your frame does not run
+up to speed, you will get soft yarn. A dry spindle will also make soft
+yarn. Keep your spindles properly oiled.
+
+
+LONG STAPLE COTTON.
+
+8. For long staple cotton you must spread the bottom and top rolls a
+little to avoid cockley yarn. Long staple cotton does not require so
+much twist on spinning as short.
+
+
+ROVING.
+
+9. Too much twist in roving makes bad yarn, and spoils the top rolls
+on spinning frames. The square root of the number is about the twist
+for roving. It gives the Carder a chance to keep up with the spinning,
+and gives the Spinner a chance to make a better quality of yarn. If
+there is too much twist in the roving, you cannot draw it on spinning
+frames without spreading the rolls; but then it will spoil the top
+rolls. Keep your numbers even if you can. Size from every fine speeder
+and average it every day, and examine the yarn every time you size, to
+see if it is good. By doing so it may save you considerable trouble.
+
+
+TWO-ROVING.
+
+10. In running two-roving together, always have them of the same
+hank, because if one is of one hank, and the other of another, there
+will be more twist in one than in the other, and will not make as good
+yarn, and will not draw as even as they would if they were of the same
+twist or hank. To know what the two hanks would be single; you must
+add the two hanks together, and divide that by four to get it single.
+
+
+DOUBLE WORK.
+
+11. The way to run double work on spinning frames. Have the white put
+in the top, if you have double creels; and colored work in the bottom.
+Piece the back roving in the top with the back roving in the bottom.
+Front in with front makes the yarn more even.
+
+
+WASTE.
+
+12. Waste must be run through the lapper all by itself, not mix it
+with the good cotton; and if one section of cards will run one lap a
+day and keep the waste up, you may run one; if it makes two laps put
+on two sections, (one lap on each section,) and the work or yarn will
+be more even.
+
+
+UNEVEN WORK.
+
+13. How to prove that uneven work is not made on spinning frames. See
+that your draught gears do not bind; if they do, you will have uneven
+yarn. Put in new rolls in front, middle and back. See that your frame
+runs up to right speed and roller belt is tight. See that the rings
+and travelers are good. See that stirrups and saddles are in place.
+Then if your yarn is uneven the trouble is in the carding room. Roving
+bobbins should be marked for each speeder; and the spinner run each
+separate on his frames. Then if you had bad work you could tell very
+quick which speeder it belonged to.
+
+
+BUNCHES.
+
+14. How bunches can be made on spinning frames. By piecing on roving
+and leaving the end to run through double. By piecing up ends and not
+twisting on smoothly. By wiping out the roving rack and the waste
+catching on the roving and running through the rolls. By wiping off
+thread-boards, waste catching on to the ends and spinning. By rolls
+not being kept clean and oiled. By spinners not being careful enough
+when they clean their rolls. By spinners brushing and cleaning their
+frames. By brushing down over head. By spinners not keeping their
+clearers clean. The carder should be just as particular about making
+his roving as the spinner is about making his yarn; then there will be
+good work all through. A dry front roll will make bunches on spinning
+frames, and will do the same on speeders. Sweepers should not blow
+their waste under the frames. Bunches can be made on spoolers by
+thread guides not being wide enough for the threads to pass through.
+A bunch will collect and stop the spool. Spooler tenders lift it over
+on to the spool.
+
+
+COARSE THREADS.
+
+15. How coarse threads are made. First, by coarse roving; second by
+spinners letting two roving run through the guide; third, by one end
+catching on to another and running on to the bobbin; fourth, sometimes
+where there is two ends on one boss, one end will break and catch onto
+the other and spin. If the trouble is in the spinning, you untwist the
+thread and you will find two threads instead of one. If not two
+threads, the trouble is in the carding room.
+
+
+CHANGING NUMBERS.
+
+16. When you change from one number to another see that the motion
+runs right to pack the yarn closely on the bobbin; then have your
+travelers just heavy enough to keep the ends straight. By running a
+heavy traveler you pack the yarn harder on the bobbin. I do not
+believe in running a traveler heavy enough to pull down the ends, but
+heavy enough to keep the ends straight.
+
+
+POOR COTTON.
+
+17. When cotton is poor you may need a little more twist in the yarn;
+sometimes when cotton is poor, the warp spinning will run bad. In this
+case you may run your warp one number heavier and mule filling one
+number lighter. Waste work requires more twist than good cotton.
+
+
+ECONOMY OF HEAVY TRAVELERS.
+
+18. It is cheaper for the company to run heavy travelers, and wind the
+yarn hard on the bobbins and spools. You get more length of yarn and a
+better quality. Will not cost so much for spooling.
+
+
+KNITTED YARN.
+
+19. If the yarn is knitted the trouble is in the carding room, as you
+cannot make knitted yarn on spinning frames.
+
+
+SNARLED YARN.
+
+20. How snarled yarn is made. By spinners not finding the end and
+breaking a thread on the bobbin to piece up by. By having the taper
+shorter on top of the bobbin than on the bottom, so when the doffers
+take the full bobbins off, the thread pulls over the top and snarls.
+To avoid the above, lower the arm where it is attached to the frame,
+(the arm that the heart rider is attached to). About one-quarter of an
+inch will be enough. You want the taper longer at the top than at the
+bottom.
+
+
+LAP WASTE.
+
+21. How to avoid making lap waste in spinning room. By keeping
+spinners where their work is, and by not giving spinners any more work
+than they can keep up. By having good doffers and good starters. If
+doffers and starters are not good they will make more waste than their
+wages will come to. Doffers should wind the thread four times around
+the bobbin. Starters should not wind on to bobbins when there is yarn
+on to piece up by.
+
+
+ROVING WASTE.
+
+22. How to avoid making roving waste in spinning room. By letting it
+all run through the rolls into yarn. All bad roving should be sent
+back into the carding room, where it belongs, every day.
+
+
+PICKING UP WASTES.
+
+23. All wastes should be picked up, looked over, weighed and carried
+off where it belongs, every day. You will find it much better than the
+old way. Not so apt to accumulate.
+
+
+COLORED WORK.
+
+24. Colored work always runs heavy. You want one tooth less draught
+change gear than your hank roving figures for. But put in the same
+twist.
+
+
+DOFFING.
+
+25. System in doffing the frames. To save making waste and trouble in
+the room, doff every other row right through, then go back and doff
+the remaining rows through. In doffing this way the spinners can tend
+more sides and not make so much waste, as any spinner knows, or ought
+to know. Frames run better when half full than on an empty bobbin. One
+frame stopped at a time to doff, is all that ought to be permitted.
+From three to four minutes is long enough time to doff any frame with
+four doffers. The first frame should be filled to a gauge astride the
+bobbin. Do not go by the clock, as the yarn is sometimes heavy. This
+gauge is the best guide I ever had in doffing.
+
+
+SPEED OF CYLINDER.
+
+26. How to get speed of cylinder. See what main line runs; then get
+diameter of counter pulley that carries the cylinder below. The pulley
+above is called a driver. Then multiply the speed of main line by
+diameter of counter pulley that carries the cylinder, and divide that
+by the diameter of the pulley that is on the cylinder, which is called
+the driven. Then to get speed of spindles, get diameter of cylinder,
+and multiply the speed of cylinder by diameter of cylinder, and
+divide that by the diameter of the whorl.
+
+
+SPEEDING PULLEYS.
+
+27. To know what pulley will drive your cylinder faster or slower.
+Multiply the speed you would like to have it run, by diameter of
+pulley overhead, that carries the cylinder, and divide that by the
+speed you are now running. Will give you pulley required.
+
+
+TAKING UP BELTS.
+
+28. To know how to take up a belt, when you change pulleys. If your
+belt is tight enough with the pulley you now have on, for every inch
+that your pulley is smaller than you now have on, take out one inch
+and three-quarters of belting. If larger, right the reverse.
+
+
+TWISTS.
+
+29. To know what number of twists to the inch, for any number of yarn.
+On warp, multiply the square root of the number by 5. Frame filling by
+4, and mule filling by 3-1/4. For every ten numbers below thirty take
+away two twist to the inch. For every ten numbers above thirty, add
+two.
+
+
+SQUARE ROOT.
+
+30. Square Root of numbers from 18 to 30.--These twists are within a
+fraction.

+
+DRAUGHT FOR YARN.
+
+31. To know the draught for any number of yarn. Write the number you
+are spinning or want to spin, add two ciphers to it; divide that by
+the hank roving that you are spinning from, to get draught. Example;
+hank roving 225, No. yarn 18. Add two ciphers, (1800); divided by 225
+gives 8 draught.
+
+
+GEAR REQUIRED.
+
+32. This is the way I was taught to figure draughts of different
+numbers of yarn. If you want to run another number with the same hank
+roving, multiply the smallest draught change gear by the number you
+are spinning, and divide that by the number you want to spin, and that
+will give you the gear required.
+
+
+ROVING REQUIRED.
+
+33. If you want to spin another number with same draught, write your
+number that you want to spin (as above) and divide that by the
+draught. That will give you hank roving required.
+
+
+TO FIND DRAUGHT CHANGE GEAR.
+
+34. Rule to find the draught change gear required. When you change
+from one number to another on a frame or mule, when the draught and
+roving both have to be changed, multiply the number of the yarn being
+spun by the hank roving desired, and that product by the number of
+teeth in the draught change gear; using that for a dividend. Then
+multiply the number of the yarn desired by the hank roving, using that
+for a divisor; that product divided will tell the draught change gear
+that is required.
+
+
+TWIST GEAR.
+
+35. The way I was taught to find the twist gear by square root of the
+number of yarn. Multiply the twist gear in use by the square root of
+the number being spun, and divide that product by the square root of
+the number you want to spin. That will give you the twist gear
+required.
+
+
+TWIST PULLEY.
+
+36. To get the twist pulley for another number of yarn. See what twist
+the pulley gives that you have on, and multiply the twist that you
+have in, by the pulley that is on, and divide that product by the
+twist you would like to put in to get the pulley required.
+
+
+TWIST OF YARN.
+
+37. To know how to get the exact twist in yarn. Have your roll belt
+tight, and band also. Count the revolutions of the spindle to the
+rollers once. Divide that by the circumference of the roll, which is
+3-14/100 inches. Example. Say 86 turns to the rolls once. (3-14/100)
+86.00 turns, (27-38/100) twists to the inch.
+
+
+WEIGHT ON TOP ROLLS.
+
+38. To know the weight on top rolls. You must measure the distance
+from where the stirrup is attached to the lever to where the wire is
+attached that holds the weight; then multiply the distance by whatever
+the weight weighs, and divide that product by the exact distance from
+where the lever is attached to the set screw, to where the stirrup is
+attached.

+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation

+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+
+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
