doffer
One who removes
A doffer is a worker, historically often a child, who removes full bobbins or spindles from textile machinery and replaces them with empty ones.
The term comes from "doff," meaning to remove.
In machinery, a doffer is also a cylinder or roller that strips fiber from a carding machine: The doffer transfers the carded cotton to the next stage.
