SCOTCH FEED By this device the Finisher Card is automatically fed from theBreaker Card, and thus the necessity for Coilers and Doublers isobviated. For working a very low grade of stock the Scotch Feedgives superior results as compared with the Doubler system, as thecotton is delivered in a fleecy condition instead of being com-pressed into a lap. The web of sliver from the doffer of the Breaker Card is com-pressed, by means of two calender rolls at the side of the doffer, intoa sliver about five inches wide. This is then transported by meansof a traveling overhead belt to a pair of rolls mounted in a carriageover the feed lattice of the Finisher Card. The carriage movingsideways across the card deposits the sliver in uniform layers uponthe lattice. Page 35

TWO-CARD SET Carding of Cotton Waste by the condenser system is custom-arily done with Two-Card Sets, the cards being placed eithertandem or side by side. In the set shown on the preceding page,the stock is fed to the breaker card by an automatic feeder whichcan be regulated to deliver the material evenly in any quantitydesired. The breaker card is equipped with a metallic breast whichhelps break up any bunches and tends to save the card clothing.Also, it so opens up the stock that, instead of allowing it to bedrawn in in bunches, it delivers the material in a fleecy, even webin which condition it is best prepared for the card proper to do itswork, ensuring large productions and first quality of work. Theweb is taken from the doffer on a belt conveyer front, throughside calender rolls and then by way of an overhead lattice apronto a Scotch feed at the back of the finisher card. A diagonal feedmay be had if preferred, but the lattice used with the Scotch feedmakes it feasible to use ve
