Half the hand mules were spinning 36's weft, at 4700 revolutions, and the other half 36's twist at 5000 revolutions per minute. The average breadth of the looms was 37 inches, weaving 37 inch cloth, making 123 picks per minute, all common calicoes about 60 reed, Stockport count, and 68 picks to the inch.

"Wha are you, sir, that daar to speak to me in this manner?" "Wha am I?" said the ither, drapping the remnant of the paper, which was burnin' close to his fingers.
