"Lower Pacific Mills - Roving Department ." "City Machine, Providence RI" appears to be engraved on the machinery. A cyanotype photograph showing wool being carded and processed into roving fiber.
From Wikipedia: After carding, the fiber lie roughly parallel in smooth bundles. These are drawn out, by hand or machine, and slightly twisted to form lengths suitable for spinning. These unspun strands of fiber are the rovings.
