| TEXT | Incorporated in 1839, has a capital of $1.800.000, employs 1500 operatives, and produces about 15.000.000 yards of delaines, bareges, and calicoes, annually. The Printery is a fire-proof structure, built of brick, in the form of a hollow square, 165 by 200 feet. This Company has been among the foremost in adopting devices calculated to save labor. A cotton piece in this establishment is scarcely touched by hand, from the time it enters the machine until it is dyed, and has to be untwisted from the wringing, after dyeing. The engraving of the rollers, instead of being performed by the old, tedious hand-process, is executed by the ingenious Pentograph machine, invented by John Hope, of Providence, and which has been previously described. The singeing of the cloth, instead of being accomplished as formerly, by being drawn over red-hot cylinders, is now effected by an ingenious machine, which supplies gas for the burning material. The fabric is passed rapidly over a horizontal pipe, along which numerous little apertures extend in a straight line, so that the gas, ignited, gives a long line of flame, equal to the width of the cloth. The movement is at the rate of about three feet in a second, and the loose fibres are burned off without igniting the fabric. The stopping of the motion cuts off the gas beneath the cloth, and of course extinguishes the flame, which is immediately relighted as soon as the movement again commences, by means of side lights - the extinguishing and relighting being effected by the action of the machinery itself, without any additional manipulations of the workmen. Any sparks that may remain are extinguished, as the cloth immediately passes between two rubbers placed in front of the line of flame. |
