Modern Cotton Spinning Machinery, Its Principles and Construction

LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS.

Note.—In order to facilitate reference to the illustrations, they have been so placed as to be easily found, without turning back. It has not, however, always been possible to place them in consecutive and proper order. To preserve the sequence, they are numbered in the order in which they are referred to in the text, although—especially in Chapter XI.—they are sometimes referred to in paragraphs widely apart.
