Chapter 115 Entering the Textile Industry

Chapper's body was hung on the wall for five days before it was taken down, only his servant was still hanging there.

The Archduke Byrne wrote a personal letter to Baron Wesson, all of which were polite words that boiled water is more nutritious than it.

Writing a letter only shows that Grand Duke Bain has personally paid attention to the matter, and the key content is still spoken by the messenger.

Archduke Bayern's request was very simple. After all, Chapper was a member of the Wittelsbach family, and he did not want his body to be treated like this.

Frederick did not entangle in this matter, and agreed to the emissary's redemption of Chapper's body.

He has more important things to do. At the monthly meeting of Wesson's leadership, Dominique, who performed very well in this case, was ordered to form a police station to prevent, stop and investigate illegal and criminal activities and maintain social order The functions of the Executive Yuan, the military, and the courts were stripped off and handed over to the police.

At the same time, he formed the Education Bureau, appointed Ames as the education officer, and August and Herbart as the education undersecretary, in charge of the education work in Wessenland.

These three people often top the rankings in the education section of "Wesson Daily", and often communicate in private. Now they are very happy to be able to work together, and they are ready to show their ambitions here.

At the meeting, Administrator Frick proposed to set up a special financial bureau to manage Wesson's money bag.

In his private words, now that there are so many more departments in the government, the budget grabbing by each department is enough to cause him a headache to death, so it is better to separate this function and let others have a headache.

Frederick agreed to Frick's suggestion, but there is currently no talent in this field in the territory, and he will be the financial officer first.

After receiving the appointment, Frick's face twitched, and he subconsciously looked at the medical officer Frank, thinking that he would often run to him in the future.

Frederick assigned the new reform of the militia to the Ministry of Military Affairs, and let the old Franz preside over the formulation of the plan.

After the work was arranged, Frederick began to work on an extremely important work.

Mrs. Sophie's fleet arrived, and it was full of high-quality cotton. After unloading, it took steel, elemental steel and other local products and left.

Now the warehouse is full of cotton and previously hoarded wool, enough for Frederick.

The textile industry must be developed, and now that conditions permit, it will naturally be developed.

Frederick is very familiar with cotton textiles. He was a child of a cotton textile printing and dyeing factory in his previous life. He has never eaten pork, but he has watched pigs run since he was a child.

Textiles are divided into two parts: spinning and weaving.

To spin cotton into yarn, it generally needs to go through major processes such as cleaning, carding, drawing, roving, and spinning.

The weaving process includes winding, warping, sizing, threading and weaving.

The spinning jenny is used in the stage of processing roving into spun yarn. If you want to improve the spinning efficiency in an all-round way, the spinning jenny alone is not enough.

And he has never seen the real spinning jenny, but he has seen all the machines in the textile factory.

After Frederick returned to Heijiabao, he took out a pen and paper and drawing tools, and began to draw the schematic diagram of the machine from memory.

There is no need to think about that kind of fully automated machine, and the machine can only be redesigned according to the principles.

In the hometown, after the cotton is packaged and transported from the place of origin to the factory, the bundled and rolled cotton is loosened and cleaned with a cotton plucking machine and a cotton opener.

But Frederick was tricked by Mrs. Sophie. The cotton in his hometown went to the cottonseed when it was produced, but Mrs. Sophie picked the cotton and dried it before packing it and sent it to the cotton gin to remove the cottonseed. .

It's not all bad, though.

The principle of removing cottonseed by cotton gin is very simple. There is a rotating roller inside the machine, with some fine sawtooth on it to drive the cotton. It takes the cotton through a comb, and the cottonseed and larger debris can be removed, and then scraped Cotton knives scrape the cotton off the rollers.

At this time, the cotton that comes out is relatively fluffy, so the step of picking the cotton machine should be omitted, and then it will be sent to the cotton opener.

The main part of the cotton opener is also the rollers. Several rollers are arranged in steps. The speed of the cotton entering the lower part is slow, and the speed of the cotton exiting the high part is fast. The cotton is driven by the rollers and guided by the scraper. through these rollers.There are many small metal sticks installed on each roller, which further loosens the cotton and removes sundries while rotating.

Next, it will go through a single-roller opener with a higher speed to further loosen and remove impurities.

Then the cotton enters the carding machine, where there are densely packed fine needles on the rollers. After the soft cotton balls pass between several rollers with different speeds and relative movements, the cotton balls are completely broken up, and the long fibers are combed into smooth In the same direction, short fibers will be removed.

The carded cotton is like a thin cotton sheet, which is gathered together to form a sliver. Several slivers are combined into one in the drawing frame to make the cotton fibers evenly distributed, and then pulled by small rollers with different speeds. This causes the thicker sliver to be pulled into a thinner cooked sliver.

Then it's the turn of the roving frame and spinning frame. After passing through the rollers of different speeds, the sliver is further processed into roving and spun yarn of different fineness under the action of drafting force and twisting. The efficiency is much higher, but the premise is that it needs enough power.

Next comes the weaving stage.

Winding is to wind the yarn on the cylinder, which is convenient for the next step.

Warping is to wind a certain number of yarns on a long tube with a certain width, which is used as the warp thread during weaving, that is, the thread in the length direction of the fabric.

In order to improve the yarn strength and reduce the wear and tear during the weaving process, the yarn needs to go through a sizing process, which requires a sizing machine.

The menopause sheets for warp wearing, the healds, the heald frame and the heald rods that make up the heald frame made Frederick's head suddenly bigger.

Except for the menopause piece that was often used to make boomerangs when I was a child, I only remember and roughly remember other parts.

The shuttle of the loom is simple. Many chairs in the factory are welded with angle steel to form a frame, and then the chair surface and backboard are made of discarded shuttle.

The structure of the loom is not a problem either. He has seen a manpower-driven dual-purpose loom. This loom can be driven by an engine or by manual pedals, which is sufficient in this era.

After Frederick finished drawing the drawings, he leaned back on his chair and let out a long sigh of relief. The workload was not small, far beyond designing a steam engine.

And it took a lot of time. Two bright red apples appeared in front of his eyes.

"Do you want to eat an apple?" Maria held a ripe apple in her hand, and her face was flushed with exhaustion from picking apples.

Frederick pulled himself together, took the apples, went to the tea cabinet to get a plate and a knife, cut the apples into pieces and put them in the shape of bunnies on the plate.

The two sat on the sofa and ate apples with a fork. Frederick asked Maria: "Is picking apples fun?"

Maria pouted and replied, "It's not fun, you don't even go with me."

Frederick ate a piece of apple with a wry smile.

The difficulty of designing the entire textile process was beyond my imagination, and it took most of the autumn.

"Now I'm done." Frederick said, "Shall we go play tomorrow?"

"Okay!" Maria immediately became happy, "Where are we going to play?"

The corner of Frederick's mouth twitched, and he said, "Let's go and see the stars, shall we?"
