Summary

A breaker carder made by William Tatham, Rochdale, in 1923. This is the second machine to process the raw cotton. The lap (roll) of raw cotton is fed into the machine from the back by a set of rollers, it is then brushed by sharp combs rotating on a series of internal rollers underneath the wooden canopy. The web of carded cotton is then fed along a conveyor belt and through compressing rollers, becoming a sliver (strand) of cotton. Waste cotton drops underneath the machine, or into the modern dust extractor, and the finished product is stored in tall leather cans.
