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 7, 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 7, French, - filature%20%C3%A0%20fibres%20lib%C3%A9r%C3%A9es
