g recent years. As compared with other methods of handlingwaste, it has many points to commend it, chief among which is itsadaptability for various kinds of low grade waste. It is generallyused for making coarse counts, and produces a full, even, lofty yarn.Because very little draft or twist is applied to the roving afterleaving the cards, it is possible to spin fairly good yarns by thissystem from the lowest grades of waste, and from waste in whichlong and short fibres are mixed. This latter class of waste cannotbe successfully handled by any other system. The condensersystem admits of many variations in the manner of preparing thecotton for the cards, of connecting the cards, and of taking theroving from the finisher. We have a full line of this machinery tomeet almost any condition. In this catalog we give detailed de-scriptions only of the types most in use, and will be glad to takeup the matter of special equipment with those who do not findhere exactly what they require.

BREAKER FULL ROLLER CARD The Cards used for the condenser systen are of the full rollertype, with 50 diameter cylinder and 30 or 30 diameter doffer, fur-nished in widths of 40, 45, 48, 51 and 61. The cylinders,perfectly balanced and ground to a true surface, run in removablebronze bushings set in heavy pedestals so designed as to prevent anyoverflow of oil from getting on the clothing of the cylinder. The entire framework is substantial. The workers and strippersare of cast iron, balanced and ground to true surfaces. All shaftsare of steel, and the fast-running shafts are case-hardened, insuringlong life and perfect settings. All parts of the card are capable ofeasy and accurate adjustment. All parts of the card are so inclosed that drafts are avoided,and no waste can accumulate within the frame except what is takenout under the screens. These screens are also special in their con-struction and arrangement, and are of easy adjustment. The Breaker Cards are built for either lap or auto
