Card
A machine used in the manufacture of staple yards. Its functions are to separate, align, and deliver the fibres in a sliver form and to remove impurities. The machine consists of a series of rolls, the surfaces of which are covered with many projecting wired or metal teeth. Short staple systems employ flat strips covered with card clothing rather that small rolls. (Also see FLAT CARD.)
