STAFFORD’S PATENT
COMBER BOARD.
The divisions are made with wires crossing each other, giving
the least possible wearing surface on the twine, thus reducing
friction on the outside of the harness, and consequent wear;
preventing bagging and the jumping of lingoes; Jacquards can
be run at much higher speed where this board is adopted. Five
years’ use has sustained the above claims and demonstrated its
practicability.
