The machines, driven by electricity, that make the fibres of the cotton parallel..., 1909. 'Part of the card-room, Brunswick Mill, Ancoats. No matter how carefully cotton may be opened its fibres are not parallel, indeed, they are at all manner of angles to one another. It is necessary that they should be so, and thus carding comes into operation. This frees the cotton from all impurities, and calls for the use of splendid machines'. Premises of Henry Bannerman and Sons, cotton spinners and manufacturers. From "Illustrated London News", 1909.
