PURPOSE: To provide a construction method for compensating radial directional deviations at bearing points of continuous delivery bottom cylinders.

CONSTITUTION: In the case of a textile machine comprising drafting units that are disposed next to one another, bottom cylinders are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the machine so that they continue along several or all drafting units 51. The continuous bottom cylinders 6, 7 and 8 are disposed at several bearing points 13, 14, 15 and 16 which are arranged at a spacing from one another in the longitudinal direction of the machine. It is provided, in the case of the delivery bottom cylinder 8, to design at least some of the bearing points such that they can be readily adjusted. As a result, radial directional deviations of the delivery bottom cylinders can be compensated which occur along its longitudinal dimension.
