This International Standard establishes a vocabulary of terms for ring spinning textile machines used in cotton spinning. It also gives an example of the design of such machines. NOTE 1 In addition to terms in English and French, two of the three official ISO languages, this International Standard gives the equivalent terms in German; these are published under the responsibility of the member body for Germany (DIN). However, only the terms and definitions given in the official languages can be considered as ISO terms and definitions. NOTE 1 The design of ring spinning machines is not limited to those shown in the figures of this International Standard, which are presented as examples of different types.
