Légende

Cotton manufacture: Platt's self-acting mule, or cottonspinning machine, 1862. Processing cotton grown in India. 'These machines are used for the purpose of converting the rovings...into what is called cotton yarn, and winding it upon spindles in the form of cops by automatic means...A great variety of improvements have been made by Messrs. Platt in the spinning-machines exhibited by them. They consist of an improved framework for the entire machine - a better method than that generally in use for driving the spindles; and a better form of carriage and arrangement, for its working with greater accuracy; also in the introduction of a governor or cop-regulator for adjusting the winding-on motion to the formation of the cop, which is perfectly automatic throughout'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
