The smaller the rovings or aso much the more will th .twisted or condensed by th f volving tubes Q Q them a snttcieut d 'various ways bv the machiuerv'not necessary slivers become, ey require to be upon them in order to give egree of coherence. Y The guides 1 l of the third cardine-nia- .chine must have a backward and forward lat- ;eral motion communicated to them either by a heart-movement, or in any other tit and proper manner, so as to lay the rovings or ,.slivers regularly side by side, each within its lown proper limits.

The rovings or slivers bein f by the rollers J J, Src., al yf-guiders P P, and are wound upon the long i bobbin M, actuated by drums L L. The sliver, slubbing, or roving istwisted y or condensed while it is leaving or being de- ,llvered from the tinishiug-cards preparatory to spinning This' twisting admits ofthe gathering the sliver w g drawn forward so pass through the combler dot'er. The twist may be produced l by the sliver or roving being' passed through tubes, as shown' at QQ, Fins. 2, by being passed between other similar means. Th x by means of the a as a substitute for the twisting process.

esliver is condensed In case of earding long wool, where it is desirable to keep lthe fibers straight and smooth-as in the manufact instancethe wool must be taken olf the dcliveringeard H, Figo, by means of the comb Ii. 1t then passes between the two vertical rollers g i112, which are covered with leather, and haveleach a slow, and downward movement communicated to themby the machinery, and which, together rollers, i and condenses with tlrerotary movement ot the draws forward, gathers up, the carded sheet ot" wool U.

hich the lateral movement is given, as before described, and wound upon the bobbin M. This operation r other fibrous materials, when it is desirable to keep Vthe iiberslstraightandsnio r-the wool more pliant, it may be heated or moistened by steam or hot water in this latter process.

Another method of drawingt'orward, condensing, and gathering all descriptions of in an end View at Fig.' 6, where' -H is the delivering,r card cylinder, b the comb which removes the carded material from the cylinder H, andjwhich is then passed underneath the small plain roller U, which is covered with leather, and under the roller c, which is alsoV covered with leather, and to both these rollers c and c a lateral backward and forward movement is given by the machinery, and which variesin extent accordiny.; tothe coarse- -ness or inencss of the carded sliver or roving. 'The rollers c and c also receive a rotary movealternating, upward oth. In order to render e action of the rc-j ithout the use ot' the i 3, and 7, or pulleys or bands, or 5 pparatus shown in Fig. (l i ure of worsted, for

ltis then guided 5 l winding is ,l acting upon the surface ot' th ment from the endless web strap or baudet' leather f, and which extends the whole width of the cards and revolves .round the rollers ci? d, to one of which a rotary movement is communicated by the wheel work ofthe machine. The transverse rubbing action ot' the rollers c and e rounds and condeuses the fibers ot the carded materials U U, which are afterward wound upon the bobbiu lil. as before mentioucd.

The rorary'motiou or Lne dellveringcarcs H Il ofthe drawingrrollers J J and the drums L L, in all the machines described, must en actly coincide with the nature of the material operated uponso that the rollers J J shall draw it along,r as fast as it is freed from the delivering-cards H H, and the drum L L wind. it upon the bobbins M M regularly and with proper degree ot' extension, without over stretching it. Drums L L,actuated by the machinery, may also be used in unwinding, the rovings or slivers from the bobbins M M in all cases wherethe roviugs orv slivers are too weak to beardrawing ott fronrthe bobbius without such help, and whether such slivers or rovings have been made by the machinery k herein described, or by other method.

i It should be noticed that the bobbins M M upon which the roving's from the third carder are wound are longenough to receive several rovings, and also that all the rovings are con- E densed, drawn, and wound after they pass lfrom the carding-machines, and that the invariably performed by a drum c roving being;` securing uniformity of speed ot' Wound, thus whirling.

It should also bc noticed that thc mode or feeding the second and third earders requires the use of'bobbins to support the roving-s to bc fed, either revolving by the drag ot the carding-machine on the rovings, or being.,r revolved by drums actuated by proper machinery', and also the employment of pills or blocks serving, as guides for the rovings.

In the last or third Garder the employment of long bobbins, capable ot' receiving many rovings, saves ni uch space, and in this machine the deliveringcylinders are partly clothedand partly unclothcd, as described.

The rovings resulting from the third cardine; operation are to be furnished to a mule or spinningtrame in which the spindles both i draw and twist., the rovings being` clamped brous substances, after cardrng them, is seen bbin M contain` slivers rests, with its axis parallel to the line passing through the spindies, or nearly so, but here, instead oi' winding thc roving or sliver upon the bobbin M, it is employed to 'give it oit' at the proper times and in the quantity required for spinning by mea-ns of a rotary motion given tothe bobbin by the drum in a directionopposite to that L is a drum, on-
