Cyclopedia of textile work : a general reference library on cotton, woolen and worsted yarn manufacture, weaving, designing, chemistry and dyeing, finishing, knitting, and allied subjects . siAg it to be delivered uniformlyto the winding spindle. The posi-tion of the steel fingers can beadjusted to properly control thedifferent grades and sizes of yarn. The rapid traverse of the yarnthrough the controller causes it toact as a yarn cleaner, throwing offthe specks, dirt and loose slubs, andthereby improving it. As the speedof the yarn increases in proportion to the size of the cone the pres-sure of the tension blades against the yarn is automatically reduced,thus building the cone with a uniform density. When the windingspindle stops, the tension blades are automatically thrown apart,and the tension remains open until the spindle is again started. Gainer Mechanism (Fig. 37). The upper, or winding spindle,being driven at a certain speed, is connected by means of a belt o witha small pulley on the end of the spindle, which carries the pinion Wmeshed with the gear u which is attached to the lower shaft / drivingthe cam. The speed relation is six to one, so that while the yarn. Fig. 05. Universal Cone. 104 KNITTING 91 guide is moving from one end of the cone to the other and returningto its original position, the top shaft revolves exactly six times, whenthe diameter of the two pulleys is exactly the same. A micrometer adjustment is provided by means of a split ring ron the top pulley m. This split ring is supported on the three arms sprojecting from the hub of the pulley. These pins rest against thebevelled end of the threaded nut t. By turning this threaded nut tothe left, the pins s move down the bevel, so that the ring r contracts
