(2)Definitions. - For the purposes of this schedule-(a)"Calender" means a set of heavy rollers mounted on vertical side frames and arranged to pass cloth between them. Calenders may have two or more rollers, or bowls, some of which may be heated.(b)"Embossing calender" means a calender with two or more rollers, one of which is engraved for producing figure effects of various kinds on a fabric.(c)"Card" means a machinery consisting of cylinders of various sizes and in certain cases flats covered with card clothing and set in relation to each other so that fibres in staple from may be separated into individual relationship. The speed of the cylinders and their direction of relation may vary. The finished product is delivered as a silver. Cards include the revolving flat card, the roller and clearer card, etc.(d)"Card clothing" means the material with which the surface of the cylinder, deffer, flats etc. of a card are covered and consists of a thick foundation material made of, either textile fabrics, through which are pressed many fine closely spaced specially bent wires, or mounted saw toothed wire.(e)"Comber" means a machine for combing fibres of cotton, wool etc. The essential parts are a device for feeding forward a fringe of fibres at regular intervals and an arrangement of combs or pins which at the right time, pass through the fringe. All tangled fibres, short fibres and nips are removed and the long fibres are laid parallel.(f)"Combing machinery" includes a general classification of machinery including combers, silver lap machines, ribbon lap machines, and gill boxes but excluding cards.(g)"Rotary staple cutter" means a machine consisting of one or more rotary blades used for the purpose of cutting textile fibres into staple lengths.(h)"Garnet machine" means any of a number of types of machines for opening hard twisted waste of wool, cotton, silk etc.Note. - Essentially, such machines consists of a licker is one or more cylinders, each having a complement worker and stripper rolls; and a fancy roll and offer. The action of such machine is some what like that a wool card, but it is much more severe in that the various rolls are covered with garnet wire instead of card clothing.(i)"Gill box" means a machine used in the worsted system of manufacturing yarns.Note. - Its function is to arrange fibres in parallel order. Essentially, it consists of a pair of feed rolls and a series of followers where the followers move at faster surface speed and perform a combing action.(j)"In running roll" means any pair of rolls or drums between which there is a "Nip".(k)"Interlocking arrangement" means a device that prevents the setting in motion of dangerous part of any machine or the machine itself while the guard, cover door or other measures provided to safeguard against danger is open or unlocked or not in position.Note. - Which will also hold the guard, cover or door closed and locked while the machine or the dangerous part is in motion, otherwise, dangerous part of any machine or the machine itself will stop or will not be set in motion.(l)"Kier" means a large metal vat, usually a pressure type in which fabrics may be boiled out, bleached, etc.(m)"Ribbon lapper" means a machine or a part of a machine used to prepare laps for feeding a cotton comb.Note. - Its purpose is to provide a uniform lap in which fibres have been straightened as much as possible.(n)"Silver lapper" means a machine or part of a machine in which a number of parallel card silvers are drafted slightly, laid side by side in a compact sheet, and wound into a cylindrical package.(o)"Loom"means a machine for effecting the interlocking of two series of yarns crossing one another at right angles.The warp yarns are wound on a warp beam and pass through headless and reeds. The filling is shot across in a shuttle and settled in place by reeds and slay and the fabric is wound on a cloth beam.(p)"Starch mangle" means a mangle that is used specifically for starching cotton goods.Note. - It commonly consists of two large rolls and a shallow open vat with several immersion rolls. The vat contains the starch solution.(q)"Water mangle" means a calender having two or more rolls used for squeezing water from fabrics before drying. Water mangles may also be used in other ways during the finishing of various fabrics.(r)"Mule" means a type of spinning frame having a head stock and carriage at its two main sections. The head stock is stationary. The carriage is moveable and it carries the spindles which draft and spin the roving into yarn. The carriage extends over the whole width of the machine and moves slowly towards and away from the head stock during the spinning operation.(s)"Nip" is the danger zone between the roils or drums which by virtue of their positioning and movement create a nipping hazard.(t)"Openers and pickers" means a general classification of machinery which includes breaker pickers, intermediate pickers, finisher pickers, single process pickers, multiple process pickers, willow machines, card and picker, waste cleaners, thread extractors, shredding machines, roving waste openers, shoddy pickers, bale breakers feeders, vertical openers, latice cleaner, horizontal cleaners and any similar machinery equipped with either cylinders, screen section, calender section, rolls, or beaters used for the preparation of stock for further processing.(u)"Paddler" means a trough for solution and two or more squeeze rolls between which cloth passes after being passed through a mordant or dye bath.(v)"Plaiting Machine" means a machine used to pay cloth into folds of regular length for convenience of subsequent process or use.(w)"Roller Printing Machine" means a machine used for printing fabrics consisting of a large central cylinder, of pressure bowl, around the lower part of the perimeter of which is having a color through a furnisher roller, doctor blades, etc.(x)"Continuous bleaching ranges" means a machine for bleaching of cloth in rope or open width with the following arrangement. The cloth, after wetting out, pass through a squeeze roll into a saturator containing a solution of caustic soda and then to an enclosed J-box. A V-shaped arrangement is attached to the front part of the J-box for uniform and rapid saturation of the cloth with steam before it is packed down in the J-box. The cloth, in a single strand rope from, passes over a guide roll down the first arm of the "V" and up the second. Steam is injected into the "V" at the upper end of the second arm so that the cloth is rapidly saturated with the steam at this point. The J-box capacity is such that cloth will remain hot for a sufficient time to complete the scouring action.It then passes a series of washers with a squeeze roll in between. The cloth then passes through a second set of saturator J-box, and washer, where it is treated with the peroxide solution. By slight modification of the form of the unit, the same process can be applied to open width cloth.(y)"Mercerizing range" means a 3-bowl mangle, a tenter frame, and a number of boxes for washing and scouring. The whole set up is in a straight line and all parts operate continuously. The combination is used to saturate the cloth with sodium hydroxide, stretch it while saturated, and washing out most of the caustic before releasing tension.(z)"Sanforizing machine" means a machine consisting of a large steam-heated cylinder and endless, thick woollen felt blanket which is in cloth contact with the cylinder for most of its perimeter, and an electrically heated show which processes the cloth against the blanket while the latter is in a stretched condition as it curves around feed in roll.(aa)"Shearing machine" means a machine used for shearing cloth. Cutting action is provided by a number of steal blades spirally mounted on a roller. The roller relates in close contact with a fixed ledger blade. There may be from one to six such rollers, on a machine.(ab)"Singing machine" means a machine which comprises heated roller, plate, or an open gas flame. The cloth or yarn is rapidly passed over the roller or the plate or through the open gas flame to remove fuzz or hairness on yarn or cloth by burning.(ac)"Slasher" means a machine used for applying a size mixture to warp yarn. Essentially, it consists of a stand for holding section beams, a size box, one or more cylindrical dryers or an enclosed hot air dryer, and a beaming and for winding the yarn on the loom beams.(ad)"Tenter frame" means a machine for drying cloth under tension.Note. - It essentially consists of a pair of endless travelling chains fitted with clips of the fine pins and carried on tracks. The cloth is firmly held at the selvages by the two chains which diverge, as they move forward so that the cloth is brought to the desired width.(ae)"Warper" means a machine for preparing and arranging the yarns intended for the warp of a fabric, specifically a beam warper.
