An article by chemical engineer J. L. Girard on how silk piece goods are handled during boiling-off (degumming) in the dye house. It describes hanging pieces in loops of cotton thread on sticks, and keeping pieces in open width using the old 'champagne' star frame and a jigger-type machine that boils off under tension. Figures show the loop method, the star frame plan and silk pieces under tension.
