ORIGINAL INVENTORS AND MAKERS OF STEEL AND BRASS PLATED BOBBINS AND TUBES. We make a speciality of =Light Cardroom Tubes= with small diameters for fine counts. We have excellent facilities for cutting, seasoning, and partially preparing both Tubes and Bobbins before turning. We have large stocks of regular sizes always seasoning, the process occupying from two months up to two years. We are thus enabled to guarantee =exact and uniform diameters=. We are the largest makers of =Ring Twist Bobbins= and =Ring Weft Pirns=. Every Bobbin is carefully balanced. =Rabbeth Ring Twist Bobbins, with Wilson Brothers’ Patent “G” Shield=, are the strongest Bobbins in the market, and capable of resisting 50 per cent. more pressure than any other protected Bobbins, and 150 per cent. more than Bobbins without metal Protectors. =Warping and Winding Bobbins= fitted with =Wilson Brothers’ Patent Flange Binders= cannot open at the Joints, and are so made that it is almost impossible for them to be broken with ordinary usage.
