On the spindle of the frontroll is a fast pulley C and a loose pulley B. A narrow belt connects withthe pulley A on the main shaft. The back roll receives its power from a DRAWING 99 train of gears starting with a small pinion on the front roll. The changegear for draft is indicated, and will be seen to drive the back roll. Alarger gear therefore increases the speed of the back roll, consequently-decreasing the draft. This will be recalled to be the identical effect.

The calender rolls and the coiler receive their power from thefront roll. LofC. lOO COTTON YARN MANUFACTURE CALCULATIONS I. Cai, Relating to Draft. A.
