A manual of the processes of winding, warping and quilling of silk and other various yarns from the skein to the loom . Fig. 1.—Variable Speed Winder. 5. The broken ends of the skeins from the upper deck are oftenwound on the bobbins of the lower deck. 6. Waste falls more easily from the upper deck onto the lowerbobbins, causing poor work, and damages wound materials. 7. The tension of the skeins on the upper deck is not as uni-form as on the lower deck. My opinion is that the disadvantages materially outweighthe advantages. Winding Machine Space The floor space required for a winding machine

Winding Machine Space The floor space required for a winding machine depends largelyupon the make of the machine used and the size of the swifts, as WINDER SWIFTS B the kneeboards must be extended to fit the swifts. The aislesbetween the sides and ends of the machines should measure atleast 2 feet, and 2 feet 6 inches is Fig. 2.—Double-deck Winding Machine. Winder Swifts There are several patterns of swifts made and suppHed with themachines, those most commonly used being made of hard or softwood according to the usage to which they are to be put. The size swifts used for wool, and raw or hard-silk winding, arelarger than those used for organzine, tram or cotton. It may behere explained that hard silk is raw, or thrown, silk from whichthe natural gum has not been removed. Soft silk is silk from which the gum has been boiled out. The standard swift is made with twelve spokes, six spokes in 6 WINDING PROCESSES each side of a wooden hub. The smallest and lightest swift isused for soft silk and artificial silk and measures 17 inches cotton swift measures 19 inches across, and that for raw orhard silk, and wool, 25 inches across. The hub of the sWift has a pin axle on each side, to hold it inthe bearings and brackets of the winding machine. The pincauses the swift to revolve readily and smooth
