Perhaps the most novel feature in the machine was itssizeing the yarn in bands or tapes like beers and half-beers, and passing it upon the beam in this manner likethe old ball-warp was passed upon the weavers beamfrom the beaming machine. This was mistakenly thoughtto be its most important merit, and therefore it was termedthe tape-sizeingmachine from it. Its greatest merit, how-ever, really was in its being a sizeing machine, and immers-ing the yarn completely in the size. It was erroneouslythought that the formation of the yarn into these bands ortapes strengthened the threads by causing them to adhereslightly together during their passage over the space. DEVELOPMENT OF THE ART OF DRESSING. 337 between the warp-carrier beam in the loom and thehealds, their next resting place. This, however, was notso, as when the threads arrived at the lease rods and wereseparated, and shedding commenced, the strain npon themwas at its maximum, and the weakest places were thenfound out and broken as each individual thread wasseparately tested. The comb or ravel b, previously pointed out as effect-ing this division into tapes, was caused to vibrate or oscil-late freely as the warp passed over it.
