BUNDLES, PRESSED
Are made up of a series of knots of 10 hanks each, which are hung on a bar or hook and twisted, then doubled ready for fixing in the press. The heads of each knot are placed at one end of the press to form the face of the bundle. The machine having been charged, and the pressure put on, the bundle is tied up and the pressure is released. (Cotton twine is best for tying purposes as it is not liable to mildew). After wrapping with paper, the bundles should be stamped with the counts. For further protection the bundles should be provided top and bottom with cardboard. In pressed bundles it is usual for the number of knots to correspond with the counts of yarn bundled, so that whatever the counts pressed, the weight of the bundle is the same. Thus, if a bundle contains 200 hanks of 20's, and there are 10-lb. in a bundle, the number of heads in the bundle represents the counts. In making up doubled yarn the number of heads mutiplied by the fold in doubling gives the counts. Thus, two-fold 20's would show ten heads, and three-fold 36's twelve heads, etc. On this principle a knot of folded yarn is the same length as a knot of single, but this rule is not always applied.
