A comparison of the yams spun on three different arrangements of air-Jets shows that the Murata-type twin-Jet arrangement produces well-wrapped, strong yams.For the production of a high level of fasclatlon, it Is necessary that the distance between the front roller nip and the position at which the edge flhres contact the aain strand should he as long aa possible.If the edge fibres contact the strand close to the roller nip, they will either not produce wrapping fibres or at best produce very short wraps.An analysis of the wrapping-fibre formation Indicates that the Hurata principle Is advantageous ln creating long and effective wrapping fibres. Some of the spinning condltions are 1 nvestigated, and the reaults are interpreted In accordance with the above mechanism.
