The can diameter does not correspond to the

spindle gauge, so the cans are not arranged in
one row but in several, which have to be set out
behind the machine.
Driven transport rollers are provided above the
cans. These draw the slivers from the cans and
forward them to drafting arrangement
The drafting arrangement attenuates the slivers
with a draft of between 5 and 20.

The strand delivered is too thin to hold itself

together and a strength- imparting step is
necessary immediately at the exit of the drafting
arrangement.
This is performed by inserting protective twist,
usually in the range of 25 - 70 turns per meter. The
turns are created by rotating flyer and are
transmitted into the unsupported length of roving
between the flyer and the delivery from the
drafting arrangement.

It runs through the flyer top and the hollow flyer leg,
and is wound 2 - 3 times around the presser arm
before reaching bobbin .
To enable winding to be performed, the bobbin is
driven at a higher speed than the flyer so that the
roving is drawn of the flyer leg.
The coils must be arranged very closely and parallel
to one another so that as much material as possible
is taken up in the package. For this purpose, bobbin
rail with the packages on it must move up and down
continuously. by continual raising and lowering of
lever on which the bobbin rail is mounted

The diameter of the packages increases with each

layer wound, with a corresponding increase in the
length of roving wound per coil
The speed of movement of the bobbin rail must be
reduced by a small amount after each completed layer,
owing to the increase in package diameter, the bobbins
rotation speed must be reduced after each layer.
Delivery is constant and hence the difference between
the speeds of the package and the flyer must also be
kept constant throughout the winding operation. Only in
this way can a controlled winding operation be
achieved.
