. The principles and processes of cotton yarn manufacture. the cotton first beneath a corrugated wooden PREPARATORY PROCESSES AND MACHINES 17 pressing roller, whose dutj^ is to compress the cotton into a semblance ofsheet, and next between two fluted feed rolls. These rolls, similarly toall feed rolls, are longitudinally fluted so as the better to grip the cotton,and to hold it firmly while feeding to the next organ, whatever that organmay be. In the machine under discussion the cotton is by means of thefeed rolls mentioned, fed to a beater. The type of beater may vary, butthe duty is the same, namely: to beat the cotton away from the feed rollin small lumps, and to throw it forcibly against grid bars. A style ofbeater commonly used consists of three arms cast upon a shaft. Thereare commonly four sets of these arms upon a shaft, which stretches thewidth of the machine. Flat blades at their extremities extend from oneset of arms to the next. A large beater, of a different style entirely, asshown in Fig. 9, is quite commonly used in openers. f^. /l_^**;;,-^J>y^«\\j>TV;-y»y»;-j,Vr^^
