V 'i : \rran?einent show?., left to rij, r ht. conventional spindle and wooden bobbin, a pa.Mer bobbin, aluminum adapter or built-up spindle, and final ly adapter-spindle with ahmiimim-bobbin. * r\c with aluminum, a young man who knew nothing about tex- years ago has perfected a gadget which redu9es yarn spinning .tx- h Tt“.s t -t- and con?)unites in many ways to cotton mill production Tin nvento! of iho device, which allows 25 to 50 per cent more yarn be wound on n oifObin is Walter Regneryp vice-president and general p.anager of Joanna Cotton ivjjlic Co., of Goldville. W:th an engineering degree Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he was well launched upon a career at. a rtiining engineer when he decided W .spend 3 short while at ‘the OoldviH* piHot i ow-ned principally by his latner. W. H. ftegnety of Chicagdl He tu’-ned his attention to getting more yarn upon warp bobbins, thereby reducing doffing and spooler costs. Regnery got the idea of building up the spindle to the extent it could receive a long straight-sided paper tube., To do this it would be necessary to lower the rail around the spindle. Then ‘Lie spindle had to be "built up.” In Regnery’s mind, this would consist of an'a him mum jacket" to fit over it. Over the alumimun shteld-in turn would 1 be fitted the conventional paper tube. • „ ...... I The new bobbin was 9x7-8 inches compared with the usual '6 7-8x?-3. > The old bobbin had to be removed from the spinning frame every seven ; hours and 20 minutes; Regnery's injproved bobbin had to be doited only j ""every ten hours. He called the device the Joanna Spindle Adapter and patented it. The] eosts less than half what a new spindlf tor use with a large bobbin j Would cost, 4 ” ■ , — . ^ Young P'egneiy didn't stop there, however; he also designed an autmi- | num oObbm which fits over the aluminum adapter, replacing the conven- al wooden or paper bobbin. The project is beyond experiment and i ma is switching over to the' new system throughout. Other mihs are; . .on a Joanr t .-ying .nit the idea. it was reported. Many advantages are claimed for the new systen^-There is'd produc-■ n increase either from higher speeds or higher effic.ency at the original i ?ed. There is lower upkeep and-maintenance due to quieter, smoother, rming spindles, gamed' from the spindle’s top drive." Replacement of worn spindles is said to be completely eliminated. Also Joanna since the change-over there has been a 40 per cent drop in oler yarn waste reported. There are fewer knots in finished goods, bo use qf the increase in bobbin yardage, Mr. Regnery says. 36-In. Pique 98c Yd. Come To Our Fabric Center!
