Three pages from Posselt's Textile Journal, April 1918, containing the continuation of the 'Fabric Analysis' series on conditioning and testing fabrics. It argues for testing at a standard moisture regain (8\u00bc%) rather than bone-dry, with a table of breaking strengths at different temperatures, and describes a regain scale and testing room. It also covers keeping yarn numbers uniform and machines for testing cloth wear (to-and-fro rubbing, Figs. 88-90). The scan begins with the end of an article on Nilsap for softening raw silk before throwing and ends with part of 'The Dyestuff Situation in the Textile Industries' on wool manufacturers' dyestuff use in 1913 and 1916.
