Title
Intermediate Roving Frame at Nutclough Mill, c1930 - CWS00119
Description
This shows a later process in the Cardroom, the machines are flyer frames, specifically,either intermediate or roving frames. Bobbins from the previous process, eg the slubbing frame, are placed in the creel and pass through the drafting system, which reduces the weight per unit length, to produce the required 'hank' for the next process. A small amount of twist is inserted by the revolving spindles and flyers, and the roving wound on to bobbins mounted on spindles, moved up and down by the bobbin rail.
