. The principles and processes of cotton yarn manufacture. s. 63, 68, 69 and 70, one style of mechanical stop motionmay be explained. The spoon levers, over one of which each sliverpasses, are unevenly balanced and supported on a knife edge as shown mFig. 63. The tension of the onward moving sliver holds the lever ni theposition shown in the figure, keeping tlie notched tail-piece away fromthe moving feeler bar F. F is fastened to the shaft O, which is given anoscillating motion in a manner easily understood from Fig. 69. To therod O, which carries the feeler, not shown in Fig. 69, is fastened thecasting S^ pivoted at S- to a forked lever S-. The fork of S- fits about 96 COTTON YARN MANUFACTURE a pin S** on the gear S^. S^ gets its revolution from the roller S^ revolves, the fork S receives an oscillating motion which iscommunicated to O, the inertia of the feelers and their attachments beingsufficient to prevent the knuckle joint at S- from bending. The lowerpart of S^ can be seen to be formed into a finger which rests against the. Fig. 69. projection T^ on the weighted lever T. The upward extending projectionT- of the weighted lever engages as shown in Fig. 68, with a catch onthe casting T-\ T may slide along on the rod S, being fitted looselytherein. It is also penetrated b}^ the shaft O. (The same letters representthe same parts in each drawing.) The casting V is screwed to the shipperrod S by the set screws a a and has a forked end fitted around the DRAWING 97 shaft O. Whenever S moves, V ma}^ move along O. Further along therod S is the belt fork S ^ ^ which is used to move the belt from the fast tothe loose pulley or vice versa, to stop or start the machine. Suitablyattached to the slipper rod is the handle H shown in Fig. 63. Contin-ually pulling against the casting T^ is the spiral spring attached at theopposite end to a bracket bolted to the machine frame. When the machineis running, the parts occupy the position shown in Fig. 68. The belt ison t
