An Introduction to the Study of Spinning - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Turning a mass of loose fibre into a continuous, even thread is one of the oldest problems in manufacturing, and W. E. Morton set out to explain how the mills solved it. An Introduction to the Study of Spinning was written for students entering the textile trade. The book takes the process in order, explaining what each stage is for before it describes the machinery that performs it. Morton went on to write the standard reference on fibre properties, but this earlier volume remains the plainer starting point - a grounding in how loose fibre is cleaned, straightened, drawn out and twisted into yarn, rather than a catalogue of models and makers. It suits anyone approaching the subject for the first time, and anyone curious about the working of the mills that made Lancashire.
