Use Of Feeler-Mot Told To Our Custoi Customers of Clinton-Lvdia Mills across the nation who buy our print cloths, broad cloths and other constructions now are finding a new reason why they can depend on our mills for the finest in cloth. This new knowledge for our customers is the result of an advertising campaign now being published in trade newspapers bv Clinton Cottons. Inc.. our New York Selling Agents, featuring the fact that Clinton-Lydia cloths are manufactured with "feeler motion." "Feeler-Motion" is not new to a Loom Fixer and others in our Weaving Departments, but many of our other em piovccs ma v noi Know jusi what the term means. "Feeler-motion" on a loom consists of several mechanical devices. but boiled down it results in throwing the bobbin out of the shuttle before all the thread runs off. instead of waiting until the exact second when the end of the thread is reached. Without the use of "feelermotion." it is possible to detect in the finished cloth sometimes just where the bobbins changed, but with the employment of this sv stem on Clinton Lvdia looms, it is impossible to tell where >1 OYEES OF CLINTON-LYDIA N K& 9 rn above are some of the Clinton-] le with their tennis instructor.

The use of "feeler-motion" is not a new one in cotton mills, but it is a general practice to use it only in finer or higher count constructions. With the use of this meehani cal system on Clinton-Lvdia constructions, it gives our customers another quality "extra," and the trade journal advertisements mentioned before are being used to acquaint our customers of this extra they receive from Tennis Interest At High Level Interest in the tennis instruction which is being made available to children of Clinton-Lvdia employees at Presbyterian College is at a high peak with a large number of children taking advantage of this excellent training.

The Midget feeler arm can be seen which touches the bobbin on each return pick. As long as it feels yarn on the bobbin, it continues to run. but whpn it rparhp? thp Karp bobbin. it immediately causes it to be thrown out. Behind the point that the feeler arm touches is more yarn so that the bobbin has not been exhausted even when the feeler touches the bare bobbin. Norman Meyers. President of Clinton Cottons. Inc., and J. B. Templeton, ClintonLydia Vice President in Charge of Manufacturing, say there has been a good response from the trade as a result of this informative advertising. It is tangible evidence that our mills are using every available mechanical device to help our employees produce quality cloth which in turn means satisfied customers and job security for all employees.
