1892J. Nasmith Cotton Spinning 286 As yarn is always wound off a cop by drawing it upwards,..any such condition of the cop nose results in a number of coils being drawn off simultaneously in an entangled condition. In this case the cop is said to be ‘halched’, and a good deal of waste is produced when the unwinding takes place. 1901N. & Q. 9th Ser. VIII. 81/1 ‘Halsh’.—This word is in every-day use in various ways. So far as the cotton trade goes it refers to the band of coloured ‘tie yarn’ that encircles the ‘knot’, in addition to the ordinary tie yarn that holds each lea in the knot separately. This is called the ‘halsh-band’, and when the band is tied the knot is said to be ‘halshed’... The ‘halsh’ is also—in the case of a necktie in the form of a bow, for example—that part in the centre that runs in a vertical or slightly oblique direction, embracing the whole bow... Saddlers also use the word, and possibly it is known in the woollen and worsted industries. |
