The large bobbins of roving from the slubbers are taken to other
machines known as Speeders, and are unwound through the machine, again
drawn out finer and finer, and rewound on smaller bobbins. The strand
of cotton known as speeder roving is now ready to be taken to the
spinning room for the final draft and twist necessary to turn it into
yarn.]
[Illustration: SPINNING FRAMES.
The roving from the speeders is placed on the Spinning Frames, and now
undergoes its final draft as it passes through the spinning rolls. The
attenuated fibres are then twisted firmly together by the action of the
spindles, which turn at a speed of about 10,000 revolutions per minute.
The yarn thus formed is wound on bobbins and is ready to be dyed and
weaved.]
