Abstract
In this article the authors seek to compute the percentage of comber waste, to make some modifications or improvements in the constitutent parts of the combers now in use, and to find a guide to further study on the subject. As regards combing action in a cotton comber, we have made some theoretical approaches from the geometrical arrangement of fibers in sliver. Assuming that the staple diagram of fed ribbon lap, the timing of combing parts and the distance between any two of them, are given, we have computed the percentage of comber waste and drawn a comber noil staple diagram and a comber sliver staple diagram.
