Wool tops processing (backwashing, shrink-resist, vigoureux)
Wool tops processing treats combed wool sliver after combing: backwashing scours and relubricates the tops, shrink-resist lines apply a chemical treatment so the fibre resists felting, and vigoureux machines print bands of colour onto tops for melange effects. It sits between worsted combing and the gilling and spinning stages. Hourly throughput, the treatments offered and the number of sliver ends handled are compared.
4 models of this class are held, 3 of them with the figures their builder published and the date they were read. The rest are identity only: the model is recorded and its figures are not.
