"Once the Roller-Air multi-position prototype based on the 24 position Schlafhorst Autocoro rotor spinner in Bolton University can be shown to run well and make soft handle yarns at high speed, I believe it will be feasible to find other outlets via manufacturing licensees in China and/or India."
"When the Mark 12 spin-box is readily 'slottable' into early model Autocoro's it will certainly make the business potential attractive enough for a substantial investment by an industrial engineering manufacturer."
