Installment of Posselt's serial on fabric analysis, covering the testing of fabric strength and stretch. It describes in detail a small pocket-size cloth tester with clamping jaws, rack and pinion, dial pointer and magnifying glass for watching the weave as it breaks, and the Henry L. Scott & Co. power tester for tough fabrics such as tire cloth. The second page also carries short trade items on British khaki orders, imitation leather, Fehling's solution for cellulose bleaching, the Bradford wool situation and Uruguayan export duties.
