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: Define the core elements: "weft yarn package" and "shuttle loom".

Step 2: Determine shuttle loom needs. Shuttle looms utilize a shuttle that moves back and forth, carrying a small, tapered weft yarn package (a pirn). The pirn's size and shape are critical for shuttle fit and yarn withdrawal during picking.

Step 3: Assess the options.

• Pirn winding: This process specifically creates pirns for shuttle use. This is the correct choice.
• Cone winding: Cone winding produces large, conical yarn packages, suitable for warping or shuttleless looms, but not shuttles.
• Sectional warping: This is a warp preparation technique, not a weft winding process.
• Two for one twister: This machine twists yarn; it doesn't create a specific loom package.
