Abstract
In the case of a spinning machine comprising several spinning stations for the spinning of yarns from slivers, the cans from which the slivers are withdrawn are deposited above the spinning machine. From the cans, sliver tubes lead to the spinning stations. The spinning machine has a vacuum duct extending in the longitudinal direction of the machine which comprises a connection opening which is closed during the operation for each spinning station. When the operation is interrupted, the connection opening can be opened up and connected with the pertaining sliver tube.
