This is commonly set about .017 of an inch from thecylinder. CARDING 73 The upper plate can be independently set and it regulates to a certainextent the amount of waste which may cling to and be removed by theflats. The nearer it is set to the cylinder, the smaller will be the amountof waste on the fiats and vice versa. The method of adjusting it can beexplained best b} reference to Fig. 56. The positions of the plate arethere shown, one being in dotted lines. Through the make-up piece E- ispassed a screw e^\ the end of which rests against a casting E. Throughan ear in the make-up piece is passed a second screw c\
