<p>A plant structure having three floors (3, 5, 7) with first and second ring spinning apparatuses (11, 13) located on the first floor and with vertical sliver feed tubes (31, 33) extending from the first and second ring spinning apparatuses respectively to the second floor for feeding a sliver (17, 23) through the sliver feed tube to the first ring spinning apparatus and to the third floor for feeding sliver from a can thereof to said second ring spinning apparatus. Each of the sliver feed tubes is provided with a fitting (41, 43), including a slide section (46) extending at an obtuse angle to the tubes, such that sliver strands descend through the tubes and through the associated fittings before they are fed into associated ring spinning machines.</p> |
