"Dupes?" Manton looked up in scorn. "Did you ever see a print from a dupe negative? It's terrible. Looks like some one left it out in the wet overnight." "How about the 'Black Terror'?" I inquired. "All of that's in the safe in the printing room; that and the two current five reelers of the other companies.
You remember, too, how some of the best reelers that you saw when you were here before sometimes had to take as many as five or more filaments from different cocoons to get raw silk of a necessary coarseness; even then, in spite of all their care, the skeins have to be sorted and sometimes re-reeled to perfect the thread and make it acceptable to American buyers.
It 'ud be awkward if you were about there to-day, I can tell you." "Why?" "Never mind, so long as you're not there. I know something, if I have been away. I'm glad I haven't had any truck with Gold Street lately, that's all." "D'you mean the reelers are on it?" Hewitt looked cautiously over his shoulder, leaned toward Wilks, and said: "Look here: this is the straight tip.
Here are the cotton operatives who work the small proportion of mills still remaining within the bounds of Manchester the spinners, minders, reelers, reed-makers, and the rest; here are the calico-printers and dyers, the warehousemen and lurrymen; and here too are the sellers of 'fents, and all the other thousand and one small trades and occupations which live on and by the poor.
Robinson brought with him a large quantity of silkworm seed, but all failed, save about half an ounce; the commissioners determined at once to erect a filature, which should be a normal school to the whole province, and it was their opinion that it would be "a sufficient nursery to supply, in three or four years, as many reelers as will be wanted, when we make no doubt of many private filatures being erected, which can only make their culture a general staple."
"I think him the most prudent as well as the most capable person I ever knew, to undertake such a work, and if he could be continued here, I doubt not but that he would turn out a number of well instructed reelers, who would be able to conduct filatures at Ebenezer, Augusta, and other parts of the province."
Likewise he knew but this knowledge perhaps had come to him partly by experience rather than altogether by intuition that historical ten reelers dealing with epochal events in the life of our own people were entirely unsuited for general consumption. When this particular topic untactfully was broached in his presence Mr.
The process of winding cocoons has been so carefully studied that now our French reelers can turn off silk of fifteen or twenty fibres and lose only one or two per cent. of it by waste. In Turkey the loss runs as high as six or eight per cent.; in Syria it is fifteen or twenty per cent.; and in other countries where the people have less mechanical skill the rate of loss is much higher.
"Sure you can get a part! Yesterday morning I simply walked into a part for you. Come along over to the office with me. Goody I see you brought the stills. I'll take a peek at 'em myself before Baird gets here." "Baird? Not the Buckeye comedy man?" He was chilled by a sudden fear. "Yes, Jeff Baird. You see he is going to do some five reelers and this first one has a part that might do for you.
The mulberry is being distributed in large numbers, eggs are being imported and distributed, improved reels were imported from Europe last year, and two expert reelers were brought to Washington to reel the crop of cocoons and teach the art to our own people. The crop-reporting system of the Department of Agriculture is being brought closer to accuracy every year.
