Concept:
Fiber-to-yarn conversion involves a sequential series of processes where fibers are cleaned, aligned, and reduced in diameter through "drafting." Each stage produces a specific intermediate product.
Step 1: Mapping products to machinery:
• Combed drawn sliver (A): After fibers are combed, they are passed through a Drawing (IV) frame to blend and align them into a uniform sliver.
• Roving (B): The sliver is drafted further and given a slight twist to form roving on a machine known as the Simplex (II) or speed frame.
• Yarn Cone (C): Small yarn packages (bobbins) are wound onto larger, high-density cones during the Auto Winding (I) stage.
• Yarn (D): The final transformation of roving into fine, highly twisted yarn takes place on the Ring Frame (III).
Step 2: Correct Sequence:
The matching pairs are A-IV, B-II, C-I, and D-III, matching option (1).
