Abstract: A stamping machine composed of a frame supporting a movable carriage having thereon a reciprocal operative punch and die for punching holes in material controllably fed to the die. The carriage movement is controlled by an eccentric mechanism within the confines of two barrier walls which limit the traverse of the carriage. The material is held firm by a clamp during the punching process and released for movement to permit the punch to pull the material a distance equal to the pitch of the stamping cycle, to await the next cycle of stamping.

Abstract: A system for color printing and processing multiple yarn fibers by mechanized means in response to programmed signals derived from a computer control devise indicative of fabrics having select patterns or designs. The system includes data gathering implements including a sample pattern to be duplicated for producing a program for color printing. The computer receives the data and processes it to produce signals indicative of the color program. A control device receives the signals from the computer and initiates control voltages for driving a color printer which color prints yarns passing therethrough in accordance with the program. The colored printed yarns are processed through fixing apparatus to fix the colors and thereafter separated into individual yarn fibers and stored for immediate or future use in looms, weaving machines and the like.
