Part of a serial article by Werner von Bergen, chief chemist at Forstmann & Huffman, on the textile potential of musk-ox (ovibos) wool. It reviews opinions on workability from Stefansson, Prof. A. F. Barker of Leeds, the Royal Commission and W. T. Hornaday. It lists the criteria the British Research Association for the Woolen and Worsted Industries proposed for judging a fiber. The author argues that musk-ox wool can be separated from its coarse beard hair as cashmere is, and he describes the 1920s Leeds experiments and the unpublished Atkinson thesis. One figure shows a cashmere goat.
