Probably the smallest, and apparently the most insignificant part of cotton machinery is the ringtraveller, yet small as it is, it is all important in rins: spinning, and as much, if not more, depends uponits prouer construction and adaptation as upon any other part of the machinery. It is a delicate, sensi-tive, little- instrument, which, if it fails to do its work, the whole machine must stop. Insignificant as itai)peai-s, it is probablv the occasion of more annoyance to the operator and loss to the manufacturer thanthe spindle itself, or any other part of the spinning machinery, for if the thread breaks, the spindle isnot only producing yarn, but it is wasting cotton just as fast as it would be using it if the spindle was inproductive operation.
