Text on reverse: "The large bobbins of roving from the Slubbers are taken to other machines known as Speeders, and are unwound through the machine, again drawn out finer and finer, and re-wound on smaller bobbins. The strand of cotton known as speeder roving is now ready to be taken to the spinning room for the final draft and twist necessary to turn it into yarn."
A pair of nearly identical photographs for viewing the depicted image in three dimensions with a stereograph viewer. Looking out over dozens of long racks full of bobbins of light-colored thread filling a large room.
Notes:
No. 7 in a set of 25 stereocards. The White Oak Cotton Mills made denim.
