This process helps reduce fiber damage and the production of lint or neps. Removal of impurities: During the carding process, the role of the rollers also includes the removal of impurities in the fibers, such as grass, knots, etc. With special card clothing and appropriate roller spacing, the rollers can effectively separate and remove these impurities. Mixing effect: During the repeated loosening and carding process of the carding machine, the positions between fibers continue to change, allowing fibers of different lengths, fineness and properties to be evenly distributed in the top, thereby improving the mixing effect of the fibers. Strips, yarns or webs: Carded fibers can be formed into a wool web composed of countless single fibers through the action of rollers, or polymerized into tops, or directly divided and twisted into rovings for subsequent processes.

Chicago Firefighter Edward Stringer was laid to rest today in a heartfelt ceremony honoring his service and sacrifice. He passed away on December 22, 2010, after sustaining severe injuries when a building collapsed during a fire at 1744 E. 75th Street. The day's events began at the Blake Lamb Funeral Home in Oak Lawn, where family and friends gathered to pay their respects before the funeral mass at St. Rita of Cascia Chapel on South Western Avenue. Following the service, he was buried at Beverly Cemetery in Blue Island.
Tim Olk captured the solemn moments throughout the day, documenting the procession from the funeral home to the church. As per the family’s wishes, no photographs were taken inside the cemetery during the burial services, preserving a private moment of mourning for those closest to him.
A large number of firefighters from Engine Company 63, along with colleagues from across Illinois and the nation, attended the event to honor Stringer, who had served with dedication and courage. The funeral highlighted the deep bonds within the fire department and the respect he earned over the years.
At the funeral home, Engine 63 was adorned with bunting and his turnout gear, symbolizing the unit’s tribute to its fallen brother. Firefighters from his own company acted as pallbearers, carrying the casket to the church, a powerful gesture of unity and remembrance.
The procession was led by the Chicago Fire Department Pipes and Drums and the honor guard, creating a somber and respectful atmosphere as the engine made its way through the streets. Onlookers lined the route, showing their support and gratitude for the sacrifices made by firefighters like Stringer.
As the casket was removed from the engine, members of Engine 63 prepared to carry their fallen comrade into the church, a moment filled with emotion and reverence. A member of the honor guard stood beside the engine, holding a flag of the 23rd Battalion alongside Stringer’s gear, a touching reminder of his legacy.
