FOUR-BANK TAPE CONDENSER The Four-Bank Tape Condenser is a modern and mostsuccessful machine for condensing cotton waste roving, especiallyif the roving is to be spun into comparatively fine yarn. Withthis condenser the web from the card dofifer passes between twogrooved rolls, which separate the web into strips of exactly equalwidth, very much in the same manner that a piece of sheet steelis sheared by cutting rolls. The grip is not positive enough,however, to cut any individual fibres. Running in the grooves ofboth top and bottom dividing rolls are leather tapes to which thenarrow strips of cotton web adhere as soon as they are tapes carry the web to the condenser rolls, which detachthe web from the tape and rub it into roving, making from 80 to96 good ends. The machine has been built to wind the roving onfour, or eight spools, depending on the style of spinning frame follow-ing. The method of separating the web on this condenser gives avery even roving, with little
