3998A YARN REEL. The reel is 54 inches, or one and a half yards, in circumference. The dial 

 is graduated into 120 parts, indicating the number of yards reeled from each spin- 

 dle. The yarn guides and spindles are kept in line with each other while feeding 

 yarn upon the reel, which is very desirable when reeling fine yarns. The extra length 

 of yarn guides is of use in increasing the friction upon the yarn by taking a half turn 

 or more of yarn aroutid them. The automatic feed motion lavs the yarn flat upon 

 the reel, thus securing accurate and uniform measurement, and consequently correct 

 results as to stretch, strength and numbering. The bright spot on the web of the 

 worm wheel is to show when the zero upon the dial approaches the index point, and 

 thus assists the operator to stop promptly on the striking of the bell. Made in four 

 or seven spindles. 



3998B UMBRELLA REEL. This reel can be furnished with an adjustable clamp base for 

 attaching to the edge of a table or shelf of any thickness. All parts are of metal and 

 those coming in contact with the yarn are of solid brass and very smooth. It will 

 hold skeins up to 72 inches and is invaluable for winding or exa'mining yarns.

3999A ROVING OR YARN SCALES. This scale will weigh one pound by tenths of grains, or 

 one seventy-thousandth part of one pound avoirdupois, rendering it especially well 

 adapted for use in connection with Yarn Reels, for the numbering of yarn from the 

 weight of hank, giving the weight in tenths of grains to compare with tables. It is 

 also useful for the weighing of any small articles, coolrs, drugs, etc., for computation 

 of large quantities, or for postal scales. The finished parts are nickel-plated and 

 the stand japanrted and ornamented. Ten balancing weights accompany each scale, 

 viz.: one each of 20, 30, 60, 100, 200, 300, 500, 1000, 2000 and 3000 grains; the 20 

 grains on the beambeing each divided into 10 parts. A level glass, to aid in adjust 

 ment, is set in the base. 



3999B YARN INSPECTOR. For comparing and examining fine or coarse, cotton, woolen, silk, 

 jute or other yarns. The cut shows a machine with inspection board in position. 

 The yarn is wound from two cops or spools, and is laid evenly in parallel lines upon 

 boards 17% inches long by 8 inches wide. These boards are held in the machine by 

 a spring clamp and are instantly interchangeable. Defects of any kind are readily 

 exposed and samples may be held on file indefinitely for future reference and compari- 

 son. Twelve boards are furnished with each machine and extra boards will be sup- 

 plied when desired. The machine is mounted upon a well-finished weathered oak 

 base and designed with two solid iron side frames which support the mechanism. 

 All metal parts are finished in black enamel and nickel plate, making this machine 

 very attractive as well as serviceable. 



3999C TWIST COUNTER. This 

 machine is designed for 

 ascertaining the number 

 of twists in yarn. Samples 

 from one to ten or twenty 

 inches can be clamped in 

 the jaws provided for the 

 purpose and by revolving 

 the hand wheel until th 1 ? 

 yarn lays straight and the 

 strands are parallel, th> 

 dial will accurately record 

 the number of twists un- 

 raveled.
