Installment of Posselt's serial on fabric analysis (July 1917), continuing the section on testing yarn for twist. It describes commercial twist counters (Henry L. Scott & Co. and a combined twist counter and take-up measurer), how to operate them, and a worked metric example for calculating turns per inch and take-up in folded yarns. It then discusses the effect of twist direction and amount on the length and counts of 2-ply cotton yarn, with a table of yardage by counts and turns per inch. A short item on dyeing and cleaning (D. B. Lake on dye bleeding and stain removal) follows.
