Specification of the Patent granted to RUDOLPH WAPPENSTEIN, of the City of Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, Medallion Engraver, for An Improved Cop Tube and Cover for Rollers used in Spinning, and in Apparatus for Putting the Tubes on the Spindles.-Dated August 6, 1861.

WITH AN ENGRAVING.

To all to whom these presents shall come, &c., &c.— I make the cop tubes of any suitable fabric woven tubular, which is first cut into lengths, then stretched on conical spindles of the required size, and afterwards coated with cement, gum, varnish, or other binding and strengthening material.

I also cover the rollers used in spinning machinery with similar fabric, woven tubular of the required diameter, and coat it with cement, gum, varnish, or other similar material.

For putting the tubes on the spindles of a mule or other spinning machine I employ a frame having in it holes or perforations for holding the tubes, the said holes being encircled, when desired, with an elastic material. In order No. 1.-VOL. XL.
