About the sound
The flyer, manufactured in 1910 by the Alsace company Société Alsacienne de construction mécaniques, Mulhouse (France) was in use at the Litija Spinning Company until 1967. It was restored in 2010 at the Technical Museum of Slovenia and has been operational ever since. It is part of the permanent exhibition of the Museum's Textile Department.
The flyer is the penultimate machine in the cotton yarn spinning process. It is powered by an electric motor. A sliver of fibres is fed from the bobbin and runs to the speed frame where it is attenuated (stretched). In the next step, the flyer imparts strength to a very thin sliver by twisting it. This fine twisted sliver called a ‘roving’ goes on to a ring frame where the final product – the yarn – is formed.
