Abstract

Excerpts from the report: Studies were conducted in the San Joaquin Valley of California in 1961, 1962, and 1963 to evaluate the effects of hand picking and of three types of picker spindles used in mechanical harvesting on the quality and spinning performance of cotton. Mechanical harvesters were equipped with 1/4-inch straight barbed, 3/16-inch straight smooth, and 9/16-inch tapered barbed spindles. The objective of the California picker-spindle study was to determine, by pilot spinning plant tests, the effect on spinning quality of harvesting cotton with tapered barbed spindles, straight barbed spindles, straight smooth spindles and by hand. The objective was limited to the effect of spindles on fiber quality; comparisons of machine performance or overall harvesting efficiency were not included.
