First installment of a series by H. B. Gordon on identifying textile fibers, with emphasis on microscopic appearance and supporting chemical tests. It covers microscope equipment, illumination, mounting media, and photomicrography, then begins the classification of fibers (mineral, animal, vegetable, artificial). It treats asbestos and the silks in detail: cultivated, tussah or wild, spider, and byssus silk, plus tin and organic weighting. Illustrated with nine photomicrographs and closed with references to Chamot and Matthews.
