Old Mill Tour 17

The Old Mill

Wide machines onto which cloth is advanced for a human to visually inspect the cloth for imperfections. These are marked and logged for removal.
Rear of inspection frames in the finishing room. All cloth was inspected for imperfections. At least in terry cloth days, and perhaps later, weavers were docked for each “second” (bad place) in their particular rolls of cloth. In those days, the “inspectors” were at the south end of the upstairs weave room.
The starting point, where the cloth is unrolled into the maw of a floor-to-ceiling processing machine.
Here, the cloth from manufacturing is introduced into the finishing process. The rolls, trucked in from the denim and Jacquard mills up the road, were mounted on these machines, which, among other things, unrolled the cloth and fed it up to other machines on the second floor.
