61 Highs, Thomas
SUBJECT AREA: Textiles[br]fl. 1760s England[br]English reedmaker who claimed to have invented both the spinning jenny and the waterframe.[br]The claims of Highs to have invented both the spinning jenny and the waterframe have been dismissed by most historians. Thomas Highs was a reedmaker of Leigh, Lancashire. In about 1763 he had as a neighbour John Kay, the clockmaker from Warrington, whom he employed to help him construct his machines. During this period they were engaged in making a spinning jenny, but after several months of toil, in a fit of despondency, they threw the machine through the attic window. Highs persevered, however, and made a jenny that could spin six threads. The comparatively sophisticated arrangements for drawing and twisting at the same time, as depicted by Guest (1823), suggest that this machine came after the one invented by James Hargreaves. Guest claims that Highs made this machine between 1764 and 1766 and in the following two years constructed another, in which the spindles were placed in a circle. In 1771 Highs moved to Manchester, where he constructed a double jenny that was displayed at the Manchester Exchange, and received a subscription of £200 from the cotton manufacturers. However, all this occurred after Hargreaves had constructed his jenny. In the trial of Arkwright's patent during 1781, Highs gave evidence. He was recalled from Ireland, where he had been superintending the building of cotton-spinning machinery for Baron Hamilton's newly erected mill at Balbriggan, north of Dublin. Then in 1785, during the next trial of Arkwright's patent, Highs claimed that in 1767 he had made rollers for drawing out the cotton before spinning. This would have been for a different type of spinning machine, similar to the one later constructed by Arkwright. Highs was helped by John Kay and it was these rollers that Kay subsequently built for Arkwright. If the drawing shown by Guest is correct, then Highs was working on the wrong principles because his rollers were spaced too far apart and were not held together by weights, with the result that the twist would have passed into the drafting zone, producing uneven drawing.[br]Further ReadingR.Guest, 1823, A Compendious History of the Cotton-Manufacture: With a Disproval of the Claim of Sir Richard Arkwright to the Invention of its Ingenious Machinery, Manchester (Highs's claim for the invention of his spinning machines).R.S.Fitton, 1989, The Arkwrights, Spinners of Fortune, Manchester (an examination of Highs's claims).R.L.Hills, 1970, Power in the Industrial Revolution, Manchester (discusses the technical problems of the invention).RLH -

63 Cellulose Acetate Textile Fibre
Cellulose Acetate fibre is soft and warm to the handle and absorbs moisture slower than some other types of rayon. It closely resembles real silk. This fibre cannot be dyed with the ordinary cotton colours, thus enabling a designer to utilise this quality for cross-dyed effects. It can be manufactured into very fine yarns. Owing to its softness, it is successfully used for a great variety of dress fabrics and for draping. It is made from cotton or wood-pulp, which is converted into a compound, termed acetyl compound of cellulose. This compound is dissolved in acetone and the solution filtered. The solution is then forced through very fine openings and the filaments coagulated by exposure to warm air. These filaments are brought together to form a thread with the necessary twist.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Cellulose Acetate Textile Fibre

65 Dimity
DIMITY (U.S.A.)A fabric woven on two shafts with faint cords, usually printed in small patterns on a white ground, but also sold white or dyed. Much used for ladies' or children's summer wear. A standard cloth is 37-in. grey, 34/5-in. finished. The cords are made by weaving two or three ends together as one, threaded through the same mail eye. ———————— This term was given by Indian traders to a cotton cloth of the fustian character, and usually figured with raised stripes, the stripes giving an appearance of embossing due to the thick weft floats. Today the dimity is understood to be a light cloth in the plain weave, but with cords lengthwise of the cloth. Made 38-in. wide, 70 ends and 64 picks per inch, 46's ground twist and 2/14's cords, 44's weft. -
66 Yorkshire Twiner
A mule machine used for doubling and twisting two or more threads together at one operation. It has similar general features to the spinning mule, but in the Yorkshire twiner, the spindle carriage is stationary and the creel carrying the supply yarns moves out while twist is inserted and in while the yarn is wound on the spindles in cop form. The supply yarns can be cops, cones or other packages. The yarns can be dry-twisted, or wet doubled, in which case a trough for water or a wetting-out compound is situated between two flannel-covered drag boards. -

жарг.(beat it on the hoof (тж. beat или pad the hoof; уст. plod away on the hoof))идти пешком, на своих (на) двоихAt length, Charley Bates expressed his opinion that it was time to pad the hoof. This, it occurred to Oliver, must be French for going out; for directly afterwards the Dodger and Charley, and the two young ladies, went away together... (Ch. Dickens, ‘Oliver Twist’, ch. IX) — Наконец Чарли Бейтс заявил, что пора, по его мнению, "поразмять копыта". Оливер решил, что это, вероятно, французское выражение, означающее прогуляться, так как немедленно вслед за этим Плут, Чарли и обе молодые девицы ушли все вместе...
...nothing remained for thousands of them but to "pad the hoof" back to London. (J. London, ‘The People of the Abyss’, ch. XII) —...для тысяч людей не оставалось ничего другого, как "на своих двоих" отправиться обратно в Лондон.
71 Curl Yarn
A type of fancy yarn twist, in which loops are formed of mohair or thick cotton or two ordinary threads. One of the ordinary or thin threads and the thick cotton or mohair are twisted together, the thin thread being tightly held and the thick one slackly twisted round it. This two-fold thread is then twisted in the reverse direction with another thin thread. The reverse twisting throws up the thick thread in the form of loops. The curls or loops vary in size from small to large. Small loops are usually on yarns intended for dress goods, large ones for astrakhans, etc.72 Slubbing
In cotton spinning this is the operation of combining slivers together and drawing the strand out, adding twist, and winding it on to bobbins.73 double
