Not illustrated. 1888 edition. Excerpt: ...five days. From the diving room the cotton passes to the PICKER. This is the ordinary machine used in cotton mills, and, as seen in Plate 3, it consists of an endless flexible table upon which the cotton is fed, two small horizontal cylinders, armed with teeth, rotating in opposite directions, as shown by the arrows, and a large wooden drum which is also armed with teeth. As has been said, the cotton waste, as received, is badly tangled and contains many knots and rolls. It can be readily understood that the stirring and boiling, produced by the live steam in the boiling-tub, tends to tangle the mass still more. The complete conversion of the cellulose depends to a large degree upon the form of the cotton when it goes into the acid. If knots and rolls be present in the cotton they produce more or less "firing," and they are more or less yellow after the conversion. The picker serves to straighten out the tangled mass and open up the knots and rolls, so that the acid may have ready access to the fibre, but the cylinders of the picker should be so adjusted that the thread is not torn apart during this process. It takes about two hours to pass 200 pounds of cotton through the picker, and it results in about three pounds of loss. The cotton passes from the picker to the FINAL DRYING CLOSET. This apparatus, which is shown in Plate 4, consists of a large closet 0 feet 7 inches long, 4 feet wide, and 5 feet 4 inches high, made of galvanized iron, which contains two sets of six drawers, each 2 feet wide, 3 feet 10 inches long, and 4 inches deep, made of the same material, with the exception of the bottoms, which are made of galvanized iron wire netting of I to 1 inch mesh. These drawers are 5 inches apart vertically with a sheet...
