The purpose of this comb is. the sameas the reed at the back of the machine ; that is, to contract orexpand the width that the ends occupy, to conform to the width ofthe beam on which they are placed. If the space is too wide, theends crowd up on the sides, and when they are drawn off inthe slasher the side ends become loose while the rest are tight. Ifthe space is not wide enough, the beam is not filled up equally and 99 ?WARP PREPARATION. 15 the results are as poor as in the former case. we see that oa eshould be taken to have the ends onto the beam as venlyas possible. This difference between the reed and the comb is asfoC • the reed has a cap on it to prevent the ends from commg.
