Cotton machinery; Hibbert, Platt, and Sons. Photographer: Ferrier, Claude-Marie
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Industrial Photography
Close view of piece of machinery manufactured by Hibbert, Platt and Sons: 'In the exhibition of machinery for spinning, and its preparatory processes, Messrs. Hibbert, Platt, and Sons have taken the lead, by establishing and maintaining in operation a complete series, beginning with the opening machine and scutcher, and including the various carding engines, the drawing, slubbing, and roving machines, two self-acting mules, the one adapted to the weft, the other to the warp, and also a throstle, a winding-machine, and a doubling-machine. This splendid series of nineteen machines is of their own manufacture, and contains many improvements on the ordinary constructions, besides offering a complete picture of the progress of the raw material from the state in which it is imported to that in which it is delivered to the weaver.' (p. 414). A print of this photograph was also shown at the 1852 Royal Society of Arts Photographic Exhibition.
