Title
Winding at Nutclough Mill, c1930 - CWS00113
Description
These machines are bobbin winding frames. The front one is probably made by Joseph Stubbs Ltd, Manchester, who specialised in winding machinery and had works at Ancoats and Openshaw. The nearest machine is 'assembly winding' ie winding two ends from ring tubes on to one bobbin, probably prior to doubling, to make the doubling process (insertion of folding twist) more efficient. The rear machine is another bobbin winder, with two rows of vertical spindles, winding from mule cop.
