Usually an 18-inch cylinder, 15-gauge, is run 45 revolutions; and a tableof two heads which turns off 160 lbs. of knit cloth per day of 11 hours, averaging 15 dozen goodsexclusive of waste, is considered as doing fairly. Cone- Winders are used in connection with knitting machinery, for rewinding the yarn as it comesfrom the spinning-jack bobbin or cop. The Tompkins cone-winder, Fig. 2539, is capable of windingthe yarn from one 250 spindle jack. The bobbin runs in contact with
