Cotton weaving: its development, principles, and practice . yarns are first dyed in the hanks, and afterwards sizedin the same state. Hence there are hank-sizeing machinesfor working by hand or power, according to principle there is little or no difference between them ;it is mostly in magnitude and capacity of production. The hand-power hank-sizeing machine is illustrated infig. 179, a front and end view being shown. This DEVELOPMENT OF THE ART OF DRESSING. 349 machine is used for very small quantities and for box suspended in the middle of the frame is the sizetrough, and in this the hanks are placed until this has been properly effected, they are taken outand each hank placed upon the two hooks shown, twisted,and the superfluous size wrung out of them. The numberof turns to which the hank is subjected determines theamount of size to be left in. More turns compress outmore size, fewer turns less. The hank is then removed,and the process continued. In the larger power machine shown in outline in Fig. 180.—Steam-Power Hank-Sizeing Machine. 180, substantially the same process is gone through on agreater scale. As will be seen, the hanks revolve in thesize. The machine is furnished with an automatic wringingand reversing motion, which can be regulated according torequirement. It is constructed with either one or twopairs of hooks. With one pair it gives a production ofabout 25 lb. to 30 lb. per hour ; with two about doublethat. Fig. 181 illustrates another type of machine, but whichembodies the same principles, though the arrangement issomewhat different. In this case there are six pairs ofhooks placed on circular revolving discs. It requires a 350 COTTON WEAVING. man and a boy to attend to it. The boy immerses thehanks at the end of the machine, and they are carriedforward upon small poles placed on a pair of endlesschains. The man places the hanks upon the pairs ofhooks in succession.
