TWISTING MACHINES. This machine, in its general design, is similar to ourSpinning Frame, but of much heavier construction. The mostnoticeable differences are the heavier ring and bolster rails. Themachine is also so designed that vibrations are practically elim-inated, thus ensuring better quality of work and a largerproductive capacity. The machines are built either 36 or 39inches wide, and equipped for either dry or wet twisting ; thenumber of spindles and the spaces are as per table on page 132.The boxed end is used, enclosing the twist and builder motiongearing. Ready access to the gearing is obtained by removablepanels, held in position by efficient locking devices. AUgearing is machine cut, and teeth have wide faces, whichfeatures ensure quiet running and freedom from expensive repairs.The twist gearing is so designed that a wide range in differenttwist combinations is afforded, as can readily be seen and appre-ciated by reference to the appended change twist gear tables.At the
