FINE YARNS ON RING FRAME.

'A now process of cotton-spinning: has been inverted by two Preston. men which, if it justifies all the claims made for it, will bring about great changes in the industry..

Up to the present fine yarns have always had to be spun on mules. In recent years new methods have been developed for the spinning of coarse and medium counts, but they have always had the limitation of being applicable to full twist yarns: only. The Inppet and traveller ring. frame, for example, is widely em- ployed for producing v

It is claimed that the new in- clined mule spindle ring frame has, at last, succeeded in producing not only coarse woft, but also the soft fine counts as well, and that it will produce yarn which is equal to, it not better than, that' produced on the mule from the same sort of cotton.
