OVERSEER O. K. FORRESTER,
his second hands and some 200
employees, do a lot of work on
yarns; yet when it leaves the de
partment it’s the same in size and
quality as it was to begin with.
Nevertheless the Spooling De
partment is not a place of wasted
effort. Their work is devoted to
package changes, ie, taking yarn
from bobbins and making it into
“cheeses” and finally into “beams”.
It is necessary to transfer the
single yarn from spinning bobbins
to large beams so that more effi
cient operation of the ply twisters
can be obtained.
Machinery used in the Spooling
Department include: Barber Cole
man Automatic Spoolers, B. C. and
Cocker Hi-speed Warpers, one
Reiner Warper and one P''oster
Winder. Tenders for the spoolers
and warpers make up the largest
job classifications in the depart
ment. In addition there are fixers,
'oilers, sweepers, creelers, and
beam men, etc.
Mr. Forrester, who doubles as
supervisor in charge of Payroll
Savings Plan Bond Deduction for
the plant, has the assistance of
Second Hands J. L. Parks, and
Milton Nichols in Spooling. With
the emphasis on steady production
of good beams, the folks in this de
partment can say with some justi
fication, “we stay on the beam”.
