A two-page installment of E. A. Posselt's serial "Fabric Analysis" (March 1918), continued from the February issue. It covers conditioning of unscoured material and silk (gum or sericin removal, boil-off testing), and how atmospheric moisture affects yarn count and the strength of wool, cotton and linen cloth, with a table of test results at different relative humidities. It also explains the psychrometer (wet bulb hygrometer) and how to read relative humidity from a table, and ends by introducing a test for the moisture-absorbing qualities of cloth.
