The spinning and twisting of long vegetable fibers

Abstract

WORKS written for the textile industries may be divided into three classes, viz. descriptive works of a more or less technical and practical character, educational works leading students up to an appreciation of the difficulties to be faced, and works which combine the descriptive and educational but which too frequently meet the requirements of neither manager nor student. The work under consideration meets the requirements of the mill manager or advanced student in a manner perhaps more than satisfactory.
