Cotton weaving: its development, principles, and practice . d the result willbe unsatisfactory; the warps will be too hard or too soft, tooheavy or too light, leading to great difference in the weight,appearance, and feel of the cloth. So great is this differ-ence at times that when the cloth is delivered to the mer-chant and examined by him, his suspicions are aroused that THE PROCESSES OF MANUFACTURING. 427 the quality of the cloth contracted for is being tamperedwith, and deteriorated to his injury, when, in fact, themischief springs only from carelessness and unskilfulnessin the manufacture. But the dissatisfaction thus arisinggives the merchant at home, or his customer abroad,a plausible excuse for heavily mulcting the maker in claimsfor abatements or in making rejections. Every sizeing machine should have the beam presser asan attachment. This enables a greater length to be putupon the beam, which is economical. It also preservesthe beam in better shape for the loom, and thus makesbetter cloth. Where the presser is not used, the beams in.

The presser consolidates the yarn as the succes-sive layers are run upon the beam. The result is thatmuch more length can be put upon them which is econo-mical, whilst being made hard the beam preserves itsshape better in handling. Our illustration shows an im-proved presser made by the firm just named. The presserconsists of two lines of rollers, the one in front beingmade in two parts and tubular. This is mounted on asolid internal axle so as to be capable of expanding, thelength over all being a little less than the width between 428 COTTON WEAVING. the flanges of the beam. This roller is mounted on anti-friction bowls carried in a suitable framing, bat insteadof the bowls having their axis parallel to that of the ro
