A spinning machine, comprising
- a. a supporting structure,
- b. a platform having a horizontal upper surface for receiving a roving cheese and supported on the structure for rotation about a vertical axis,
- c. a drive roll mounted on the structure for rotation about a horizontal axis that is substantially spaced from the said vertical axis,
- d. means driving the platform and the drive roll at selected relative speeds,
- e. a rack element mounted on the structure and defining a plane, the plane lying parallel to and spaced from the said horizontal axis, the plane lying at an acute angle to the said vertical axis, and
- f. a receiving spool on which the yarn is coiled, the spool being carried on the rack for rotation about a horizontal axis parallel to and spaced from the said horizontal axis, the spool being free to move under the influence of gravity toward contact with the drive roll.
