ways consist of a combination ofthree appliances : an automatic feed, an automatic oilingdevice and a mixer. The Martin oiling willow, shown in Fig. 215, is largelyused. The wool is thrown into a feed box, a, and falls on tothe lattice creeper, b, which conveys it to the toothed creeper,c. The latter carries the wool upwards, the excess beingknocked by a quick-running, small beater roller, d, back intothe box, whilst the remainder is doffed by the large beaterroller, c, in loose flakes and laid on the lattice creeper,/. Atthis stage the wool is sprinkled with a fine spray of oil dis-tributed by the quick-running roller brush, g. This brushtakes up the oil from a sloping platen, //, receiving the over-flow of oil from a duct, /, fed by tipping the oil tank, k, bymeans of gear which lifts it in the direction indicated bythe arrow, ni, so as to produce a constant flow. The oiledwool is then delivered to a willow where it is thoroughlyintermixed, and the distribution of the oil completed.

TEXTILE RAW MATERIALS. 339 Another form of oiling machine is shown in Fig. 216.Plere the lattice creeper, a, conveys the wool from the feedbox, /;, under the pressure roller, c, towards the left, theexcess being stripped off by the beater roller, d, and thrownback into the box, as indicated b\^ the arrow, c. Near thedish feed, /, of the willow, the wool is oiled by the oilingdevice which is here situated above the lattice creeper. Itconsists of a large oil duct, g, from which a suitable quantityof oil is removed by the slowly revolving brush, //, which rubsagainst the rail, /, and thus fills the smaller duct, k, from whichin turn the oil is taken up by the revolving brush, /, anddelivered to the wool by means of the rail, m, stripping thebrush, /. VI.—Carding. Willowing opens, loosens and cleans the wool to a certainextent, but the fibres still hang together, and tufts are onlytoo plentiful. The objects of carding are to continue theloosening of the fibres until they have been compl
