1914 illustrated and descriptive catalog of Whitin cotton waste machinery and of various systems of working cotton waste . longtra\erse. The illustration shows the frame equipped with the TapeDrive Spindle. It can be built either with the band or tape drive,as desired. The tape drive lends itself, perhaps, more appropriatelyto this class of work than the ordinary band drive. The tape driveframe shown has a specially designed geared end which facilitatesall changes in the gearing, and accidents to operatives are avoidedby the use of light steel panels, which completely enclose all workingparts.

The tape driveframe shown has a specially designed geared end which facilitatesall changes in the gearing, and accidents to operatives are avoidedby the use of light steel panels, which completely enclose all workingparts. The spindles used are the well-known Whitin GravityImproved Type (patented), and are capable of high speed, steadyrunning, and are especially recommended as free from tendency tothrow oil, thus ensuring clean work. Outside of being particularlyadapted and arranged for waste work, the construction of the frameis similar to the frames that we build for ordinary cotton as to production, change gears, etc., can be found inour 1911 catalog, on Cotton Yarn Machinery, pages 10 to 115inclusi\e. Page 48. Page 49 TWISTING FRAME The illustration on the preceding page shows the latest develop-ment in our line of twisting frames with Tape Driven design embodies all the desirable features that our long experi-ence with this class of machinery has demonstrated as necessaryfor a practical and economical working machine. The frame may be built for either dry or wet twisting, as pre-ferred, and of such number of spindles and gauge as best suits therequirements of the manufacturer. The construction is similar to that of our spinning frame(illustrated on page 47) excepting the ring and bolster rails are ofa much heavier design. The frame is equipped with the tape driven Whitin Gravitytype of spindles, which ensures uniformity in twist, large productionand economy in operation. This machine is particularly well adapted for twisting fromtwo to six-ply waste yarns.
