 THE SPINNING MACHINE. — THE GYPSEY. 



The machine may be considered as divided into two parts ; Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, representing the part 

 by which a small filament is drawn from a column or roving called the Drmoing-frame ; and Figs. 14, 15, 

 16, the part l\v which the filament is twisted and wound up, called the Bobbin-frame. The same letters 

 and figures indicate the same parts on aU the plates.

Fig. 1 is the Drawing-frame. It has a hatchcl belt, c, with points and clearers upon which the rov- 

 ing lies, and a bol)bin-belt, k k', like the belted roving machine, as will be seen by simple inspection, 

 page 372. It revolves in the same direction as in the rowing machine, and has a binder pullev-, d, to keep 

 it to a proper tension. The ends of the hatchel plates bearing tlic points of the hatchcl rest or slide on 

 the tops of the rail f f ; the belt is kept in place by a plato. k, at the left, end of tlie frame, .v. g g arc 

 plates of iron attached to the frame, called forcing ])lates. A tin tunnel, i,. is fixed between these plates, 

 GG, for the purpose of directing the roving or sliver of hemp into the hatchcl belt; this tunnel runs in 

 the dii-ection of the dotted line between the forcing plates until it nearly meets the bobbin-belt.
