Question

The \(\underline{\hspace{2cm}}\) machine is used to produce a suitable package of weft yarn for a shuttle loom.

• A. Pirn winding
• B. Cone winding
• C. Sectional warping
• D. Two for one twister

Hint:

Remember the specific packages for looms: - Shuttle Looms use Pirns. - Shuttleless Looms often use large Cones or other large packages as weft supply.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Identify the key components in the question: "weft yarn package" and "shuttle loom".

Step 2: Understand the requirements of a shuttle loom. A shuttle loom uses a shuttle that travels back and forth across the loom. This shuttle carries a small, tapered package of weft yarn called a pirn. The pirn must be small enough to fit inside the shuttle and shaped correctly to allow yarn to be withdrawn easily during picking.

Step 3: Evaluate the options.
- Pirn winding: This is a specific type of winding process designed to produce pirns for use in shuttles. This is the correct answer.
- Cone winding: This process creates large, conical packages of yarn. These are typically used as supply packages for warping or weft for shuttleless looms, but not for shuttles.
- Sectional warping: This is a warp preparation process, not a weft winding process.
- Two for one twister: This machine is used to insert twist into yarn, not to create a specific type of package for a loom.
