Advanced Spinning, Texturizing & Twisting 11
- What Twist Multiplier to Spin At Premium Balances the production a ring frame gives up for every turn of twist against the end breakage it buys back, quality by quality, and holds the answer above the strength the yarn is actually sold on. Reports which qualities are worth twisting harder, which softer, which are being spun below their own specification, and how many extra breaks a tenth of twist may cost before it stops paying. What Setting the Twist Properly Is Worth cost/yr

Spinning, Winding & Yarn Package Engineering 17
- What a Yarn Clearer Setting Is Worth Premium Prices a clearer trial against everything the yarn becomes, so that the setting on the winding machine is chosen rather than inherited. Costs each candidate setting in drum time, waste and splices that fail downstream against the faults it lets through, hands back the fault value at which tightening pays, and shows what a single setting shared across four end uses is costing when each of them wants a different one.
