Abstract:
Method of and apparatus for processing linear material including rotary means for linearly feeding the linear material and rotary means for collecting the fed material where one of the two means is predeterminedly variable in its speed during advancement of the material; the other means to be matched thereto. The apparatus includes means for supplying a control signal having a patterned rate of change that is arranged to modify the speed of the other means to approach the speed of the one means and means for sening the difference between the linear rate of feed and collection. Means responsive to the sensed differences to bring the speed of the other means into conformity with the actual speed of the one means.
Abstract:
Apparatus for severing linear material including a cutter roll having blades thereon extending outwardly of the circumferential surface of the member and means communicating with the opposite sides of the blades in a region spaced from the circumferential surface to fix the cutting edge of the blades against movement circumferentially of the cylindrical member.
Abstract:
A new and improved method for preparing and applying sheer thinning gel to glass fibers wherein the improvement comprises introducing the treatments, after preparation, into closed collapsible containers, controllably advancing the treatments to an application zone, and applying the treatments uniformly to the glass fibers.
