Flyer : A device used to insert twist into slubbing, roving, or yarn, and to serve a guide for winding it onto a bobbin. The flyer is shaped like an inverted U.... One arm of the U is solid and the other is hollow. The yarn enters through the top of the hollow arm, travels downward, and emerges at the bottom where it is wound around a presser finger onto the take-up package. 3, record 1, English, - flyer%20arm

L'ailette est un dispositif du banc à broches. Elle applique la torsion aux mèches et sert de guide pour les enrouler sur des bobines. L'ailette a la forme d'un U inversé qui est muni de deux branches : une branche solide et une branche creuse. La mèche passe par le haut de la branche creuse de l'ailette, la parcourt et sort à la base de cette branche pour s'enrouler ensuite sur un doigt presseur qui délivre la mèche sur une bobine d'enroulement. 2, record 1, French, - branche%20d%27une%20ailette

A system of spinning based on the concept of introducing twist into the yarn without package rotation by simply rotating the yarn end at a gap or break in the flow of the fibers between the delivery system and the yarn package. Because the twisting element can be compact and the mass of material to be rotated is small, very high twisiting speeds can be attained. The process, in a sense combines the traditional processes of roving and spinning in one operation. 3, record 3, English, - open%2Dend%20spinning

Filature à fibres libérées ou open-end. La filature consiste dans le principe suivant : L'extrémité du filé en cours de formation tourne sur elle-même, tandis qu'on lui apporte une à une des fibres. Ces fibres sont prélevées dans une masse alimentaire qui peut être une mèche ou un ruban de carde par un procédé adéquat. Ces fibres ainsi prélevées échappent au contrôle de la masse des fibres alimentaires avant d'être incorporées dans le filé en formation. De là vient le nom de filature à fibres libérées. 8, record 3, French, - filature%20%C3%A0%20fibres%20lib%C3%A9r%C3%A9es
