Abstract

A sliver can for accommodating a strand-shaped fiber material includes a can base and a peripheral side wall that delimits an accommodating space for the fiber material, the peripheral side wall at least partially transparent. A display element that transmits a signal indicating one or both of a quantity or a property of the fiber material is located in the sliver can and is configured within the sliver can such that the signal is visible through the peripheral side wall from outside the accommodating space. The invention also encompasses a sliver can base configured with the display element and a spinning mill machine in combination with the sliver can.
