Abstract: A chrysanthemum cultivar named Fortune particularly characterized as to uniqueness by the combined characteristics of flat capitulum form, decorative capitulum type, light golden yellow ray floret color, diameter across face of capitulum up to 70 mm., short plant height, spreading branching pattern, average natural season flowering date of September 12, and average flowering response period of seven (7) weeks in photoperiodic controlled short day programs.
Abstract: A universal crankshaft pin and main bearing finishing machine having one pair of pin and main bearing arms with finishing shoes simultaneously engageable with one pair of pin and main bearings. A programmable controller and encoders automatically monitor drives which position and oscillate the arms over the width of the bearings for each pair of pin and main bearings until all required bearings of the crankshaft are finished. Adjustment and automatic programs are provided for different crankshafts which may vary in length, number of cylinders, stroke, axial location and width of bearings.
Abstract: Method and apparatus for splicing the ends of spun yarn includes means for inserting the yarn ends into a hole associated with a splicing nozzle having one or more air jet pipes, in which hole the ends are subjected to an air jet to join them each other. Yarn end control nozzles for the yarn on the package side and the yarn on the bobbin side are disposed at each end of the splicing nozzle to suck the yarn ends in the corresponding yarn end control nozzles, respectively and to keep the yarn ends free therein.
