  • Method and apparatus for controlling textile working systems employing NMR detector
    Patent number: 4267620
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for controlling textile working systems such as drafting frames. A detector is provided for detecting variations in the numbers of specific types of atoms, such as hydrogen atoms, in a known length of a traveling fibrous strand being worked by the drafting frame or other textile working device. System parameters, such as the draft imparted to the strand, may be varied in response to the detected variations.
