ease with which the bale is handled
in transit and at the mills delights
them. The low cost of freight and
insurance, the immunity from fire in
the mill and the fact that there are no
hoops, wires or metal of any kind
used in baling are features that espe-
cially appeal to the thrifty European
spinners.
Mr. Lovering had the opportunity to
address a meeting of prominent cotton
manufacturers of Lancashire on the
merits of the Roundlap Bale, and by
the courtesy of Messrs. Howard and
Bullough, of Arrington, they were
invited to witness a demonstration of
the running of three bales of cotton
directly on the apron of a scutcher.
Nothing could have been more perfect
or absolutely satisfactory than the
workingof the cotton in this way. The
scutcher was started with three bales
upon the apron and ran off at once
without a hitch or interruption. The
noise made by the beaters was a stead v,
deep and healthful hum, showing that
the machine was doing its work with-
out laboring in the least The lap
that was made was clean and even
running, weighing sixteen ounces to
the yard.
The spinners took the greatest inter-
est in the demonstration and with one
accord expressed their complete satis-
faction with the operation. They said
that they saw in the new system a great
