Title: Textile carding machine operating system and method

Abstract: A drive for a textile carding machine is illustrated wherein a direct current motor is provided for returning the doffer to operating or production speed, following a run at slow speed as for putting an end up, independently of the other driven card components which is de-energized after the doffer has attained operating speed. A drive connection provided between the licker-in and the barrow pulley thereafter drives the doffer at operating speed. The method thus contemplates driving the doffer from slow to operating speed independently of the usual driving components of the card and then when the doffer is at operating speed, utilizing the usual driving components of the card to drive the doffer after discontinuing independent driving of the doffer.
