H.H. Hunt and R.L. Sanders, two young men from Kannapolis, are the inventors of the device, which is a small piece of machinery that will be attached the spinning and twisting frames in cotton mills. The device has been patented and the corporation that is to handle it has been granted a charter of incorporation by the secretary of state at an authorized figure of $125,000.
The plans for manufacturing the device are not complete yet, yet will be in a short while. Ultimately a plant will be erected here for the manufacture of it, if the present plans go through. The device will be useful throughout the textile world, according to experts, and has already justified all expectations of it in several mills of this section where it has been placed.
Some of the claims for it are that it fills the bobbins to the desired height, giving a better class of work; it saves waste that cannot be overcome in any other way; it will do away with the head doffers, as their only work is to stop the machine; it will prevent lumps of yarn being woven in the finished product, caused by bobbins being too full and slipping off in a bunch; it relieves the operator of the fear of the machine running too full.
