| TEXT | Is another large corporation in Manchester, and commenced operations in 1839, with an authorized capital of $1.250.000. This Company has two mills employed in making ducks, denims, sheetings and canton flannels, and seamless grain-bags - a novel and important article of trade. These bags are 45 inches long, and are manufactured of various qualities and weight. The warp is a double one; and, by the construction of the loom, the "filling", or weft, traverses both sides, uniting the warps at the edge, instead of producing a selvage. The loom - the invention of Cyrus W. Baldwin - is a perfect self-actor or automaton. It commences the bag, goes on until the requisite number of picks has been thrown in, to make up the length; it then closes the bottom, throws in a given number of picks as a tab, and then commences another bag. All that the weaver has to do is to attend, in the usual way, to the perfect working of the machine, and cut out each bag, as from their thickness, any quantity accumulated on a cloth-beam would be an encumbrance to the machine. As the bags are cut out, the weaver folds and piles them by the side of the loom, and these are removed, and an account taken every half-day. The bags are hemmed round the top, or mouth, by sewing-machines, each machine being attended by one female operative; and the average work of each is 650 bags for a machine per day. There are 126 of these seamless bag-looms at work in the Stark Mills. The average make is 47 bags for a loom per day, and the speed about 130 picks per minute. |
