Two pages from Posselt's Textile Journal, April 1912 (pp. 89-90), containing a continuation of the series on fabric analysis. It describes burning tests to tell wool, silk and vegetable fibres apart, and chemical reagent tests (zinc chloride, ammoniacal copper hydrate, sodium plumbite, alkaline copper with glycerine), ending in a summary table of reagent reactions for cotton, wool and silk. The pages also carry the end of a note on doup/whip-thread leno threading diagrams and a fragment of a cotton carding installment covering doffer and comb settings and card waste.
