Item 10: No. 10. Warpers, White Oak Cotton Mills, Greensboro, N.C., 1909

H.C. White Co., N. Bennington, Vt. Gelatin silver print. No. 10 in a set of 25 stereocards. Text on reverse: "The spools of warp yarn are placed in large wooden racks or creels from which they can conveniently unwind. The separate threads are drawn through little wires in the warpers, and are gathered into a bunch or rope of threads, which is wound in a large cylindrical ball known as a warp. If any thread breaks while passing through the warper, the little wire drops and stops the machine. In this way, full count of threads and uniform weight of the goods is insured." The White Oak Cotton Mills made denim. 17.75 x 8.75 cm.

Format: Stereoptic print.
