Abstract
Abstract The cloth inspection device has a friction roll for delivering cloth from a power operated tension controlled cloth supply via a loop feed in tensionless wrinkle free condition to a viewing area, and thence to a roll forming batcher wherein, provision is made to accurately measure the cloth responsive to the friction roll drive, with means for disassociating the batcher to accumulate cloth at the viewing area for shading, and with means for reversing both the batcher and the friction roll independently of the cloth supply avoiding the disadvantages of reverse winding the supply.
