RING SPINNING FRAME. THE LARGEST MAKERS IN THE WORLD. This Spinning Frame has been so extensively adopted, and has attained its present high degree of perfection owing, Firstly—to its being properly made. We had the advantage of Mr. Rabbeth’s personal assistance and experience, and he furnished us with the most perfect special tools for making the spindles and rings. Secondly:—Our experience, now extending over 3,792,570 spindles—constituting us the largest makers of ring frames in the world—has enabled us to perfect the machine mechanically and to introduce improvements which have increased its production 20 per cent. in five years—extended its scope into higher counts of yarn, and enabled it to compete successfully with the Mule in spinning weft and soft yarn. Ring Weft Frames. Howard & Bullough desire to say that their Ring Spinning Weft Frame is successfully established. It is as successful for spinning Weft on Pirns (not on the bare spindle) as is their well-known Rabbeth Ring Frame for spinning Twist, and is entitled to equal confidence. References given on application, comprising leading and extensive mills where the Weft Ring has entirely displaced the mule. RING DOUBLING FRAMES.
