INTRODUCTION.
We take pleasure in presenting this book, trusting that the information it contains will be of interest and service.
In compiling this catalogue we have included such descriptive matter as will set forth the main features and advantages of our machinery, also outline drawings, gearing diagrams, floor spaces, speeds, production and other tables, and information of use to all those interested in Cotton Mills.
Some of the information contained in this book has hitherto been presented in circular and book form, but at the request of numerous friends and users of our machinery we now issue this complete catalogue which contains considerable additional information, besides which it is in a compact and convenient form.
Our machinery is extensively used, and is well and favorably known.
It will be our endeavor in the future to continue to make improvements and maintain the high standard which has characterized our machinery in the past.
