A doffer is someone who removes ("doffs") bobbins, pirns or spindles holding spun fiber such as cotton or wool from a spinning frame and replaces them with empty ones. Historically, spinners, doffers, and sweepers each had separate tasks that were required in the manufacture of spun textiles. From the early days of the industrial revolution, this work, which requires speed and dexterity rather than strength, was often done by children. After World War I, the practice of employing children declined, ending in the United States in 1933. In modern textile mills, doffing machines have now replaced humans.

  • Un doffer è un termine inglese che indica colui che rimuove (dal verbo "to doff") rocchetti, spolette o fusi pieni che portano le fibre filate da un filatoio e le sostituisce con pezzi vuoti. Storicamente i tessitori, i doffers e i ripulitori avevano ciascuno compiti distinti che erano necessari per la produzione di tessuti. Con l'avvento della rivoluzione industriale, questo lavoro, che richiedeva velocità e destrezza manuale più che forza, era spesso effettuato da bambini. Dopo la prima guerra mondiale, l'utilizzo di bambini per questa mansione cominciò a decadere, arrivando a terminare negli Stati Uniti nel 1933. Nelle moderne fabbriche tessili, le macchine hanno ormai sostituito l'uomo in questo compito. (it)
